Bola Ahmed Tinubu, presidential aspirants and former governor of Lagos state, Southwest Nigeria has cancelled the colloquium organised in commemoration of his 70th birthday.
Gatekeepers News reports that the chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said the event could not continue in the wake of the attack on a train heading to Kaduna state from Abuja.
On Monday night, terrorists detonated bombs on the rail track of the Abuja-Kaduna train at a point between Kateri and Rijana areas.
The train was said to have almost reached Rigasa, its final stop.
Tinubu shortly after his arrival at the colloquium on Tuesday said he cannot be celebrating and rejoicing amidst a national tragedy.
The Presidential aspirants, therefore, asked the attendees to “go home and pray” for the victims of the attack.
