Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar on Saturday evening
cancelled his 68th birthday celebration dinner in Abuja in honour of victims of
Friday’s Kano Bomb blast.
Atiku who is a presidential aspirant of the All Progressive
Congress ( APC) stated that he could not continue with the celebration when the
national mood is that of mourning.
” There will be more years to celebrate birthdays, but tonight is a sad and sober one for Nigeria. It’s best we pray and go home.
” I appeal to all who are able, to send donations to the victims of the bomb blast and Internally displaced Persons in the North East.” Atiku stated.
After Christian and Muslim prayers were said for the victims
of the bomb blast and terror attacks Atiku left the venue.
