General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd), Wednesday,  said  he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on his life after he was targeted by suicide bombers in Kawu area of Kaduna.



In a statement, Buhari said: “I  am personally involved in a clearly targeted bomb attack today at about 2:30pm on my way to Daura.“The unfortunate event, clearly an assassination attempt, came from a fast moving vehicle that made many attempts to overtake my security car, but was blocked by escort vehicle.“We reached the market area of Kawo where he took advantage of our slowing down and attempted to ram my car and instantly detonated the bomb which destroyed all the three cars in our convoy.

“Unfortunately, when I came out of my vehicle, I saw many dead bodies littered around. They were innocent people going about their daily business who became victims of mass murder.

“Thank God for His mercy, I came out unhurt, but with three of my security staff sustaining minor injuries. They have since been treated in hospital and discharged”, he said.

It's outrageous to know many nigerians are of the views the attack was staged by the victim ;And that most could have believe it wasn't stage if he died in the attempted suicide attack! But gracefully he survived the attack while the innocent passerby bear the brunt .Maybe instead of conflicting or doubtful we should rather reflect on Obasanjo revelation or we should take the opportunity to reunite against state sponsor killings and terrorism otherwise known as political thugs in Nigeria .Personally,I would never believe Buhari would stage deadly attack on himself just bcus he wanted nigerians favor for political benefit.What does he gain in killing or causing injury to himself ,are we saying he wanted to be APC immortalized or he wanted to sacrifice his dear life for APC taking reign of presidential duties or for what gain would a dead man benefit after killing himself for the sake of so belOved party or nation.We should rather condemn BHaram insurgency and it's attempt to destabilized the nation through partisan violence ,if the attempt had been successful there would be reprisal from APC faithful and that alone could set the nation on fire ,knowinh fully the fragility of Nigeria political rivalry.I would rather say thank God for aborting the objective behind of this timing bomb set to destabilized the nation through political war.
