Presidential aspirant and All Progressives Congress (APC) leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Monday, visited Owo in Ondo State to commiserate with victims of St Francis Catholic Church attacks.
Tinubu was in Abuja earlier with other APC stakeholders and presidential aspirant as the party begin its presidential primaries today.
Tinubu had described the Owo attack as highly-reprehensible.
The presidential hopeful, in a statement by his media office in Abuja, stated that the Sunday morning attack shocked the conscience of the nation and shattered the peace of the ancient town of Owo.
He, however, stated that the attackers cannot break the country’s collective spirit and Nigerians’ will to live in peace and with compassion for all regardless of faith.
The APC national leader commiserated with Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, the families of the victims of the attack and indeed the people of Owo and Ondo State. He urged the police and security agencies to do all that is within their power to investigate the attack and apprehend the wicked perpetrators and bring them to justice.
More also, the presidential aspirant on Monday will be meeting with some of the worshippers that survived the attacks and relatives of the St Francis Catholic Church attack victims.
Reports said Tinubu had informed his aides while leaving Abuja that, it was proper for him to visit the state to see both survivors and deceased relatives since their departed relatives were among those that he would have to govern if elected as president.
