Terrorism: Atiku reiterates call for international assistance Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has reiterated his call on the Federal Government to enlist international support in its current war against terrorism. Reacting to the May 1st second bomb blast at Nyanya in a statement by his media office in Abuja, the former Vice President said it was high time Nigeria solicited international support to tackle its current tough and seemingly intractable security challenges. While commending the sacrifices and patriotism of our security forces in dealing with the threats of terrorist violence, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, however, advised Nigeria to urgently seek international support and should do so urgently. According to him, terrorism is relatively new to Nigeria and our security men and women are up against a deadly unconventional enemy that doesn’t bother about the rules of engagement. Therefore, he advised the Federal Government to seek assistance because the world is so interconnected that no nation should be an island onto itself. He explained that because of the global dimension of terrorism, no developing country like Nigeria should go it alone, adding “we need to learn from the professional experiences and ideas of other countries confronted by terrorist threats”. The Turaki Adamawa expressed his condolences to families of the dead while wishing a speedy recovery to the injured. Signed: Atiku Media Office 61 Ebitu Ukiwe Street Jabi Abuja. atiku.org
