The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday visited Kaduna state governor Nasir El-Rufai, and donated N50 million to the victims of the terrorist attack on the Kaduna bound train from Abuja. The former Lagos State governor was received by El-Rufai and Senators Uba Sani and Suleiman Abdu-Kwri at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House. Tinubu was accompanied by former Governor of Borno State, Senator Kashim Shettima. Others on Tinubu’s entourage include the former speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara and Senator Abu Ibrahim.
Tinubu described the recent train attack that left people killed and many uncounted for as a national disaster.
He said everybody should be concerned about the attacks going on in Kaduna state which have claimed hundreds of lives and properties in recent times.
Mr. Tinubu urged Governor El-Rufai not to be deterred by the unfortunate incidents but to continue delivering good governance.
He also appealed to well-to-do Nigerians to support the Kaduna state governments in addressing the humanitarian crises created by bandits attacks.
Reacting, Governor El-Rufai appreciated Tinubu for showing solidarity with the people of Kaduna State over the recent attack by cancelling his 70th birthday colloquium in honour of those killed.
