canadian government and Speaker of the House of Representatives Aminu Tambuwal yesterday condemned the Boko Haram attacks.
A statement by the Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister, John Baird, urged Nigerians to work with the Nigerian government in the fight against Boko Haram.
He said: “I am deeply saddened to see that Nigerians gathered to practise their faith have again become the target of terrorists.
“Canada urges all people in Nigeria to work with the Nigerian government to counter religious extremism and terrorism, and bring to justice those responsible for these reprehensible crimes.
“On behalf of all Canadians, I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those killed in these attacks, and I wish a speedy recovery to the injured.”
Tambuwal, in a statement yesterday by his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Malam Imam Imam, reacted to the twin bomb blasts that rocked Bayero University, Kano and Ministry of Finance building in Jalingo, Taraba State on Sunday and yesterday.
He said: “Nigeria is today experiencing its tough challenge. I am however confident that what we are facing will soon be a thing of the past. Our collective resolve as Nigerians who desire peace and stability will triumph over all dark forces in our country.”
