The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has cancelled his 70th birthday colloquium in honour of Kaduna-Abuja train attack victims.
Tinubu, during the live event which held at the Eko Hotel and Suites on Tuesday, mourned victims of the attack by bandits which occured on Monday night.
He said “Today is supposed to be a very joyful 70th birthday of mine living on earth. I give thanks to God Almighty for being able to survive to this age…
“I have just been informed of a very sad incident in our country, very sad indeed, that over 60 people and many more were killed and bombed on a train between Kaduna and Abuja just last night. That is a very serious incident about the security of lives in this country and it calls for a very serious sober reflection.

“For me to be here celebrating, dancing and enjoying myself doesn’t show enough concern of a statesman and a senior citizen of this country.
“This event should not be holding. I have consulted with the people you see around me here and they’ve agreed with me and being a very highly committed democrat, I have given myself to their suggestion that they agreed that this event be cancelled.”
