While the people of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa were still in shock and trauma occassioned by the unabated blood letting that has almost become a daily occurences in their various domain, our President and his Vice with entourage from across the country choose Kwara state for an un- patriotic rally where they were busy singing and dancing on the graves of these Innocent Nigerians whose future were abruptly brought to an end without no fault of there’s . If our president fall victim of this attack, will he be celebrating at dead party rally ? Of course not.” “As a leader and party, one would have expected the President and the leadership of his party to have used the precious time to either Visit the troubled and traumatised families in these areas of Nothern region, not only to condole them but to give them hope and sense of belonging but Instead president Jonatham has told Nigerians that Poltical Rally at this time is of Importance to him than the Lives of the wasted future leaders of our dear Country.” “Even at the dawn of a new week, precisely the first working day of the week, when the president should afford himself the opportunity to ensure that, at least a step is taken ahead in resolving our common and pressing problems, such have been abandoned for political rally in Kwara- which is the first presidential visit since he was voted in 2011. No appreciation visit or privilege was granted to Kwara.
