Yobe state Governor Tells Goodluck Jonathan; you have some explanations
The Governor of Yobe state Ibrahim Gaidam was worried about
the killing of 47 student in his state and the increase in the killings in the Northern
State by BK issues the statement below
through his Special Adviser on Press Affairs
and information, Abdullahi Bego
"This morning, our state woke up
to a very sad and heart-breaking news of a bomb attack on our young students at
Government Comprehensive School, Potiskum, in which no fewer than 35 students
were killed and many more injured. The thoughts of His Excellency, Governor
Ibrahim Gaidam and his prayers are with the parents, teachers and families of
the innocent victims of this callous and reprehensible attack.
The governor is heartbroken and words
cannot adequately convey the extent of his remorse and sadness. The governor
has noted that this is the fifth time in a little over one year when our
schools in Yobe State were brutally attacked and students killed. There was
Government Secondary School, Damaturu; Government Secondary School Mamudo; College
of Agriculture, Gujba; Federal Government College, Buni-Yadi; and now
Government Comprehensive School, Potiskum. Governor Gaidam deeply regrets that
all of these dastardly attacks took place under a climate of Emergency Rule
declared in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa States by President Goodluck
Jonathan.
In theory, the Emergency Rule
Declaration was a signal that more vigorous steps would be taken to protect the
lives and property of people in the affected states and deploy the full might
of the federal government to restore peace and security. Unfortunately, this
has not been fully the case. Instead of forcing insurgents and criminals to
flee, the insurgents are forcing innocent people to flee and making life
miserable for everyone. Governor Gaidam believes that President Goodluck
Jonathan has a very urgent responsibility to explain to the people of Yobe
State and people all across the affected states why murderous and callous
insurgent and criminal attacks are still on the rise despite the State of
Emergency.”
We just pray that the government of Nigeria and his Excellency
GEJ will make a quick and resounding end
t the issues of BK in the Northern States of this country and we can sleep at
night in peace, look at our brothers and sisters with joy and love oooooo
