Edo Train: Tinubu Condemns Attack, Says APC Yet To Curb Insecurity

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has said that the recent attack on the Edo train station is a reminder that the party is yet to win the war against insecurity.

While condemning the attack in a statement by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, Tinubu expressed sympathy for those abducted.

The former Lagos governor urged President Muhammadu Buhari, the Edo State government, and local authorities to work with security agencies to ensure the release of the victims.

“I condemn the mindless attack and abduction of innocent train passengers in Edo State by terrorists on Saturday.

“From available information, the security agencies are working hard to rescue the victims.

"I urge more collaborative efforts by the Federal Government, Edo State Government and other local authorities on the quick rescue of all the victims.

“This occurrence is a sad reminder that we have not completely won the war against insecurity and that there are still some agents of darkness lurking around the corner.

"But I want to assure Nigerians we will win this war.

"Evil will not prevail over our country because of our strong determination to exterminate the dark forces everywhere they manifest.

“One of the reasons I am running for the presidency is to improve on the security situation and tackle every form of insecurity in our country. 

"We have a clear plan to end violent crimes and terrorism through our anti-terrorism battalion forces, investment in more security hardware and surveillance technology that will make our streets, neighbourhood and forests safer for socio-economic activities to thrive and bloom", Tinubu said.
