We need to “explore all possible options to put a stop to this scourge” – Atiku Abubakar reacts to Boko Haram killings

Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, says the killings which took place in Borno State on Sunday calls for a second look at possible ways to end Nigeria’s war against the Boko Haram insurgents. 

Reacting to the killing of over 30 people in Maiduguri yesterday by the Boko Haram terrorists, the former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), noted that the attack which took place in Auno was one too many.

We can’t afford to stay divided in the face of this common enemy. I sympathise with the bereaved families. These incidents, one too many, should make us explore all possible options to put a stop to this scourge. https://t.co/3SwHgLpQbM
