President Goodluck Jonathan has said that the scene of the bombing and the aftermath which he saw whilst visiting hospitals left him so shocked he could not even talk.

He disclosed this during a political rally in Kano yesterday where he welcomed Malam Ibrahim Shekarau formally back to the Peoples Democratic Party.

He said: “Let me at this point express my deepest condolence again to the family members of those who lost their lives in the bomb blast in Abuja on Monday.

“ I was at the scene of the incident, I visited the hospitals, I was so shocked that I couldn’t even talk.

“Again, I express my condolence to the family members of the victims and, indeed, the whole country; and I want to re-emphasise that terror will not stop Nigeria from moving forward.

“We will continue to move from strength to strength. We will also continue to encourage security agencies. We are looking at different options and we promise Nigerians that we will do our best and we will continue to work to make sure that we live peacefully in this country.”
