Kaduna train massacre: Please forgive us, we have failed – Nigerian governors

Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has admitted its failure on the worsening security situation in the country.

This is just as the governors have begged Nigeria for forgiveness over the Kaduna train attack which ledt over eigh dead.

The chairman of NGF and Ekiti State governor, Kayode Fayemi, in a statement said the attack had questioned the country’s leaders collective capacity to govern.

Fayemi said, “We need to improve on security intelligence and ability to act on intelligence gathered. In general, we need to give comfort to all our citizens, residents and investors that the security of life and property cannot be taken for granted, and that there is a government that is clearly in charge of what needs to be done.”

“The Kaduna-Abuja train attack on Monday night was a horror dream orchestrated by the wicked merchants of death that we must all wake up from to address.

“This is one attack too many. It must stop. First, as leaders, we owe the victims and their relations an apology as these unwarranted acts of violence are becoming too regular and they basically question our collective capacity to govern.

“God will grant those that lost their lives eternal peace and a place in the deepest recesses of heaven.”
