President Goodluck Jonathan has
spoken with Gen. Muhammadu Buhari on the phone over the bomb
attack that nearly claimed the life of the leading opposition figure, TheCable understands.

This telephone conversation came a day after Jonathan’s camp and Buhari had exchanged hot words over the impeachment proceedings
against some opposition governors. In the couple of bombings in Kaduna on Wednesday which claimed scores of lives, Buhari escaped death when his convoy was caught in a blast at Kawo area of the city while he was on the way to his hometown, Daura, in Katsina State.

Buhari described it as an
assassination attempt. His vehicle was completely destroyed and several people were killed, although his security aides also survived the
attack.

TheCable learnt that the president put a call through to Buhari on Wednesday evening to express his sympathy with the former head of state.

Details of the conversation are sketchy, but TheCable was informed that the president promised a thorough investigation into the incident.

The conversation was said to be “warm, cordial and sincere” by a source in the know.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, although initial suspicion will link it to Boko Haram which has reportedly made attempts on the life of Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, who repeatedly criticises the activities of the insurgents.

The first blast on Wednesday was close to the venue of the Ramadan
lecture which Bauchi gave.
Buhari has also been critical of Boko
Haram but he was not thought to be
at risk of an attack.

Presidential spokesman Reuben Abati issued a statement describing the attacks as an attempt to “inflame passions”.

This whole insecurity is now getting quite scary. If those that we 'thought are protected ' are this vulnerable, what hope do we have as ordinary citizens.

I am not interested in the politics nor calls, accusations and counter accusations. I am interested in getting this monster ( terrorism) curbed.

All the numerous arrests that have been made, does it mean we still don't have a clue as to the financiers/ supporters of this terror.

In any case, GEJ exhibited a very high level of maturity by reaching out to GMB despite the 'seeming' differences they have. I doff my face cap...

Finally, how did we descend to this level where taking human lives even our own now seems to be a normal thing.

Instead of calling Buhari, call your boys to order!!

What was Buhari doing behind the Islamic leader? Must he travel behind the man? This thing na set up. Ubok Abasi

president promised a thorough investigation into the incident.

The evil men do live with them. Concerning the APC leader this is just propaganda jare. Nigerians know the truth and who are the boko haram sponsors. May the souls of the innocent people who lost their lives in the blast rest in peace.

Haba dont u know the animosity that exist between jona and buhari. For jona to call him required a lot of maturity

h

Is he calling to confirm his boys missed their target?

Now Jonathan can get his $1,000,000,000 loan and more. Mission Accomplished!!!

GEj till someone better contests

To say;your excellency it was a mistake from my boys.....sorry i mean boko haram sir.

GEJ: buhari u alive sorry safe
GMB: am ok, ur boys almost got me
GEJ: next time i wil use asari boys

Buhari, a man that has been seeking public sympathy since 1914

Long live GEJ. GEJ till 2019.

Wot did he tell him

Any post about GEJ or Buhari from now will only get a Smiley response from me, like this one above.

No committee this time?

Pictures?
This is why I always blame Mr. President's handlers as been lame, incompetent nd out of their depths.

So Jonathan calls GMB. That's a big deal. Release pictures of the President holding that landline phone, displaying all d emotions of sympathy nd support to d General. Sit back and watch d President's badly needed approval ratings soar, as he will be seen as a true leader who rose above party lines to reach out to number 1 face of opposition in his lowest times. That's maturity. Perception is evrything in ds game

In d act of political scheming nd media spin, you seize every opportunity that comes your way. Shame to Mr President's handlers for not seizing this one

True to Biblical allusions,the first kisser is not always innocent.


Investigations again?Have we not heard such promises again and again?

We await clearer and circumstantial facts.
