Former Vice president Atiku Abubakar has reiterated his earlier call on the Federal Government to enlist international support in its current war against terrorism in the country.
This was contained in a statement released from his media office,Abuja, in reaction to the last Thursday’s night bomb blast in Nyanyan in which 20 people lost their lives and 60 injured.
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, Atiku, however, advised the Federal Government to urgently
seek international support.
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 do it alone, adding “we need to learn from the professional experiences and ideas of other countries confronted by terrorist threats”.
The Turaki Adamawa condoled with the families of the dead while wishing a speedy recovery to the injured.
