The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, on Tuesday visited victims of the Monday bomb blast at the National Hospital, Abuja.

It would be recalled that on April 13, a bomb blast killed dozens of commuters and other innocent Nigerians at Nyanya, an outskirts of Abuja.

The speaker was conducted round the emergency ward to see the victims by the Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu.

Tambuwal, who condemned the attack, said that the issue was not about any political party, but an attack against the Nigerian people.

He called on leaders to stop playing politics with the issue of insecurity, saying they should collectively work together for the good of the country.

“As leaders in this country, we must all come together and support the government in addressing this challenge.

“We should stop playing politics with issue of insecurity. From what I have seen among the victims, I doubt if they are members of any political party.

“We should stop playing politics, we should address the issue and it is not about any religion.

“It is unfortunate. We must come together. We must rise to the challenge and address this challenge.

“We must all work together as a nation to address the issue of security, we should stop playing politics with security,’’ he said.

Tambuwal, while on the visit, said that he had indicated interest to go the National Blood Transfusion Centre to donate blood to the victims.

“I call on well-meaning Nigerians who have the capacity to donate blood to please come out and donate blood and whatever is required for the survival of the victims.’’

On what motivated him to donate blood to the victims, the speaker said that he was moved by “humanity in him and by what he saw’’.
