President Buhari condemned some politicians making utterances on security and insisted that they were merely seeking applause. He advised such Nigerians to join the ongoing genuine efforts to find lasting solutions to the challenges confronting Nigeria.

Garba said that the President expressed sorrow over the loss of lives and had urged security agencies to do everything possible to prevent the recurrence of attacks.
