Abuja- The All Progressives Congress (APC), in a statement issued by Mr. Lai Mohammed, the Interim National Public Secretary of the party, has called on President Goodluck Jonathan to visit Yobe to commiserate with the families of students of Federal Government College, Bunu-Yadi killed by the Boko Haram insurgents on Feb. 24.
He said that the President’s visit to the scene of the incident would give succour to families of the students, and assure them that government had not abandoned them.
He added that it would also be a morale booster to the troops securing lives and property in the North-East region.
"President Barack Obama of the U.S. flew to Tennessee, where he spoke at a high school where students were still reeling over the shooting of one of their classmates in January.
"Also, in 2012, President Obama paid a similar visit to Newtown in Connecticut, where he met the relatives of the 20 schoolchildren and eight adults who were shot, ‘’ he said.
Mohammed urged president Jonathan not to give the impression that there was any part of the country he could not visit, which according to him, could suggest victory to the terrorists in the North-East.
