Chairman of the forum Rochas Okorocha said: “We pray that we should unite at this moment to fight this evil. We have decided to establish a Trust Fund for APC governors to support the families of victims of this unholy act and we shall also join forces with other democrats to ensure that this bad story ends as quickly as possible.”
He expressed condolences to bereaved families saying “We know they must be in serious pains at this moment. What happened was rather unfortunate and it is one killing too many.”
The governors condemned the daily loss of lives across the country which has refused to abate in spite of government’s efforts.
“We notice that the increase blood shedding in our nation is becoming worrisome and as leaders we believe that this is not a time to say what is wrong or who is wrong but this is a time that we must all close hands to ensure the safety of lives and properties,” they said.
