Commendable: APC Governors Float Trust Fund For Bomb Victims


The governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Wednesday joined other Nigerians to express outrage and sympathy over murderous bomb blast at the Nyanya Bus terminal in Abuja by pledging to establish a trust fund to help bring succor to the families of the victims.

The governors of Imo, Lagos, Sokoto,Kwara, Adamawa, Nassarawa and Ogun states who visited the Asokoro General Hospital and the National Hospital to commiserate with victims  condemned the Nyanya bombing and the abduction of over 100 school girls in Chibok in Borno state by terror gangs.


Addressing journalists who accompanied them to the National Hospital, the Chairman of the APC Governors Forum and the Imo state Governor, Chiief Rochas Okorocha said every Nigerian must resolve to join hands with government to fight and defeat terrorism in the country.

"As part of our concern, we have decided to establish a trust fund by the APC governors to support the families of the victims of this unholy act. We shall also join forces with other democrats to ensure that this bad story ends as quickly as possible. We pay for the deceased and the families that lost their loved ones in the incident, " he said.

Governor Okorocha who spoke unbehalf of other governors said the  governors  were at the National hospital to see those who were involved in the ugly incident.
