Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, on Sunday, paid a visit to victims of a terror attack at a mosque in Gadan village, Gezawa Local Government area of Kano State on May 16, 2024.

Obi who visited the victims on their hospital beds at the Murtala Specialist Hospital in Kano said the visit was to “physically show solidarity with the wounded, offer support, and wish them a speedy recovery, as well as to thank and encourage the management of the hospital.”

He said, “This  is very horrific and remains very condemnable. It’s sad this can happen in our nation today. Nobody can say why this young boy could do a thing like this to his own family members and the society.

“We remain in solidarity condemning such act at the people. My reason for coming here is to show solidarity and support in their care in one way or the other and the hospital management in what they are doing and again condemn this senseless act of violent killing.

“We, therefore, condole with the government and the good people of Kano and urged all as a country to stand together in fighting such a senseless act.”

The hospital’s Chief Medical Director, Dr Husseini Muhammad, reported that 23 victims were brought to the hospital. Out of these, 15 have died, while eight are still receiving treatment. Muhammad praised Obi’s visit, saying it showed the unity of the country.

Currently, seven patients are in Surgical Ward C, and one is in critical condition in the ICU, Vanguard reported.
