…Appeals against playing politics with terror
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, Tuesday visited the National Blood Transfusion Centre in Abuja and donated blood to victims of the Monday bomb explosion in Nyanya, Abuja.
Tambuwal, who also visited the National Hospital, Abuja to sympathise with those receiving treatment there, called on the political leaders in the country to stop politicising issues of insecurity and take necessary actions to protect lives and property of Nigeria citizens.
Speaking shortly after being conducted round the wards in the National Hospital, Tambuwal urged all political leaders to come together and support the government in addressing the challenge of insecurity.
“We should stop playing politics with issue of insecurity, from what I have seen among the victims, I doubt if they are members of any political party, we should stop playing politics, we should address the issue and it is not about any religion. It is unfortunate, we must come together, we must rise to the challenge and address this challenge,” he said.
It was from the National Hospital that the speaker alongside other members of the House of Representatives headed for the National Blood Transfusion Centre to donate the blood. After donating the blood, he appealed to other Nigerians to endeavour to do same. “I call on well-meaning Nigerians who have the capacity to donate blood to please come out and donate blood ad whatever is required for the survival of the victims,” he said..
On what motivated him to donate blood to the victims, the Speaker said “I was moved by humanity in him.”
