**Kwankwaso Condemns Maiduguri Bombings, Calls for Action Against Terrorists**
The recent wave of terror attacks in Maiduguri, Borno State, has left many Nigerians in shock and grief. Former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has joined the chorus of condemnation, calling on the Federal and State governments to take urgent action against the terrorists responsible for the heinous crimes.
In a statement, Kwankwaso expressed deep sadness over the multiple suicide bombings that claimed 23 lives and injured over 100 others. He described the attacks as "horrific" and a setback to the peace that had been recorded in the state in recent years.
Kwankwaso warned that the recent attacks signal a disturbing resurgence of terrorism in the North-East, which poses a significant threat to the peace and security of our communities. He called on the governments to take decisive action against the terrorists, saying that now is not the time for defensiveness or complacency.
The former governor urged the authorities to provide the necessary resources and support required for security forces to effectively combat terrorist activities. He also extended his sympathies to the victims and their families, as well as the people and government of Borno State, saying that his heart goes out to them during this difficult time.
Kwankwaso's call for action against terrorists is a wake-up call for all Nigerians. As we continue to grapple with the challenges of insecurity and terrorism, it is imperative that we work together to address the root causes of these problems and support our security agencies in their efforts to keep us safe.
In Nigeria, we have seen the devastating effects of terrorism in states like Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa. The recent attacks in Maiduguri are a stark reminder of the ongoing threat that we face, and it is essential that we take collective action to prevent further attacks and protect our citizens.
Kwankwaso's statement is a timely reminder that we must not take our security for granted and that we must support our security agencies in their efforts to keep us safe. As we move forward, it is essential that we work together to address the root causes of terrorism and ensure that our communities are safe and secure.
