President Muhammadu Buhari has been urged to take practical actions to end insurgency in the country rather than offer graciously, needless condolences to families of the victims of terrorist attacks.
Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan gave the charge on the heels of the latest Boko Haram suicide bombings in Mandarari, a community in Borno State.
Buhari had on Monday night expressed sadness over the triple suicide attacks and sent his condolences to the victims and their families.
The president's words “I commiserate with the families of the victims of yesterday’s Viewing Center bomb blasts in Mandarari, Konduga LGA of Borno State.
“My deepest condolences to all those affected.”
But, Omokri on his Twitter page condemned the President’s reaction, noting that residents of Borno do not need condolences but ‘Action’ against Boko Haram in the state.
The former presidential spokesman wrote: “Dear General Buhari, Borno people do not need COMMISERATION. They need ACTION.
“Last month, you went to Qatar to lie that Boko Haram was defeated.
“These are people that could have helped us defeat Boko Haram. But you LIED to look good to them.”
Meanwhile, Borno State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) confirming the attack on Monday, said 30 persons lost their lives while 42 others were injured.
