President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday condemned the bombings in Kaduna which he said appeared to have been targeted at a former Head of State, Major Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and prominent Islamic Cleric, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi.
He however thanked God for sparing their lives.
Jonathan’s message was contained in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati.
He denounced the targeting of political and religious leaders by terrorists, whom he described as enemies of the nation.
He said he had directed the Police and other security agencies to take all necessary actions to apprehend the perpetrators of the attacks.
The statement read, “President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan condemns the bombings in Kaduna today which appeared to have targeted former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari and prominent Islamic Cleric, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi.
“President Jonathan denounces the dastardly targeting of the prominent political and religious leaders by terrorists and enemies of the nation in an odious attempt to inflame passions and exacerbate disquiet, fear, insecurity and sectional divisions in the country.
“While thanking God Almighty for sparing the lives of General Buhari and Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, the President extends sincere condolences to the families of those who were sadly killed by the bomb blasts.
“President Jonathan also commiserates with all those who were injured in the twin bombings in this Holy Month of Ramadan which defy the tenets of Islam, and provide further proof that the terrorists are nothing but blood-thirsty extremists bent on undermining the unity and progress of the nation.”

See primary suspect the form defence.

This is d hand work of ur ex-militants trained in isreal. This is ur own amensty post event

In fact, if anything happened to the people's General, what happened in 1966 would repeat itself!

Yea! Ngene Ukwenu, the great Arusi, says so!

NgeneUkwenu:

gbam!

Buhari is trying too hard to dissociate himself from terrorism by stage managing an attack.

 Its too late to claim holy, baboons and dogs are already soaking in blood.

Why won't you apply a little decorum and wise reasoning before commenting on nairaland, are you so deluded that you would blame everything including why your husbands joystick can't measure up to a chewing stick on GEJ.
Keep on hating dear.

sharap whoree

It's disheartening to see the hate in people's writings!!!!!! God have mercy.

It is well with Nigeria - we will not join Ukraine, Afghanistan , Somalia etc

Those behind this will be exposed......they are now getting desperate cos we are closer to victory.

NgeneUkwenu:

You dey mind the drunkard in the person of my father

ok

Yes, cos if they had killed him people like Lwankwaso would have accused you of killing him.

i wish nairaland is like facebook when you can easly trace and eliminate somebody.

some people are really abusing this faceless anonymous forum

imagin someone sitting in his/her ragged chair with his/her rotten and smelly annus and accuse the person of mr President of genocide/terrorism

some people deserve to die honestly

A lot of children here don't even know what BOMB BLAST is like. You are children at least, or demented at most.

How can a normal human being say somebody planned this against himself? Are you alright upstairs?

It is well...

Yeah. We also thank God your evil machinations never prevailed, and we mourn those innocent bystanders who wernt so lucky. The General hit you and your evil party below the belt with his most recent comment, next thing, you guys commissioned your boys to silent him, like you did Azazi!!

God is definitely watching, and sooner than later, He would come to collect the debts owed Him!!

Long Live the People's General!!
Long Live FRN!!

.

Gej shouldn't bother commenting on what happened to the terrorist. He stage managed the whole scene as far as i'm concerned.

ON PRESIDENTIAL BID I THINK BUHARI IS BLOCKING SOMDBODY IN apc, OR THEY WANT TO USE THE OPPORTUNITY OF MISUNDESTANDING BETWEEN HIM & GEJ AS THEY USED IT BETWEN BOLA IGE & OMISORE, SO THEY CAN ACHIEF THEIR AIM AGAIN. THAT IS NIGERIA SYSTEM.

Hahaha ...coincidence I guess

And the first time BH recorded a miss is against Buhari and some Islamic cleric.


OK, am observing in HD.

What would Jonathan gain by trying to kill Buhari?

Y'all better shut up if you aint gat nothing tangible to say.
