Tinubu cancels birthday colloquium to honour victims of Kaduna-Abuja train attack

Former Lagos State Governor Bola Tinubu has cancelled the 13th birthday colloquium in honour of victims of the Kaduna-Abuja train attacked by bandits.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Chieftain made the announcement on stage at the Eko Hotel and Suites on Tuesday, where guests and well-wishers were already seated and gathered for the event.

He called the train attack a national tragedy and urged guests to return home and pray for the victims.

inubu added that the attack “calls for a very serious sober reflection,” and he cannot be dancing and celebrating after such a tragic event.

“For me to be here celebrating, dancing and enjoying myself doesn’t show enough concern of a statesman and a senior citizen of this country.

“This event should not be holding. I have consulted with the people you see around me here and they’ve agreed with me and being a very highly committed democrat, I have given myself to their suggestion that they agreed that this event be cancelled.”

Tinubu alongside hundreds of others at the event observed one-minute silence for the lives lost in the spirit of “national tragedy and concern.”

Dignitaries at the event include Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu; Kaduna State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje; Osun State Governor Gboyega Oyetola; APC Chieftain and former Ogun State Governor, Segun Osoba; Lagos State deputy Governor Femi Hamzat, among others.
