The Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF, has condemned the bomb blast at the United Nations building in Abuja, describing it as an unforgivable crime against humanity.

Chairman of the Forum and Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, said it was disheartening, senseless and inhuman for anyone to bomb a complex where work and effort to make the world better are constantly going on.
 
 “The idea of any group unleashing violence on fellow human beings because of certain imperfections does not augur well, not only for the well being of the immediate location and victims but for the entire nation” NGF Chairman said.
 
Governor Amaechi argued that the violence cannot be defended by its perpetrators whatever their grievance might be, insisting that violence is not a reasonable way to attract attention to grievances.
 
Describing the explosion as an attack on Nigeria and the global community, the NGF urged the security agencies to do everything possible to track down this seemingly organised network of wicked criminals and bring them to book.
 
Governor Amaechi also condoles with families of the victims of the blast and prayed God to give them the fortitude to bear the loss.
 
The NGF chair appealed to all aggrieved individuals and groups in Nigeria to appreciate the fact that violence can never be a solution to any
problem.
