Nigerians should rise to condemn terrorism — Oshiomhole

EDO State governor, Adams Oshiomhole, on Tuesday, advised Nigerians to wake up to the reality of the existence of terrorists in the country and cooperate to tackle the menace instead of trading blame. Fielding questions from State House correspondents shortly after a closed-door meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja, he said since terrorists did not know age, region or religion, Nigerians must rise in unison to condemn their heinous acts. Asked for his reaction, he said: “my attitude is that Nigerians have to wake up to the reality that terrorists are here. Maybe few years back, many of us didn't think that was possible. “I think we enjoy living so much that no one will wire himself to take his own life just because he wants to take the life of another innocent
person. “So for me, on the issue of security, all of us must work together. It is not a blame game. The reality is here. “A terrorist doesn't know your age, your region or your religion. The evidence is that everybody has become a victim.
