Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has described the on-going ostentatious celebration of the country’s centenary by the seat of power at Aso Rock as being akin to dancing on the graves of about 60 students of the Federal Government College, Bunu Yadi, Yobe State, killed Monday in an overnight attack by Boko Haram insurgents.
The celebrations will climax this night with awards to be handed out to 100 centenary heroes (living or dead) to be handed out by President Goodluck Jonathan at an elaborate ceremony to be held at the Banquet Hall of the State House, Abuja.
Pouring out his heart on the celebrations, Atiku wrote last night on Facebook: “I’m appalled by this obscenity showing on NTA in the name of Centenary Celebration. It is inappropriate!
“I’m proud of our history over the last 100 years. I congratulate our President and Nigerians for this journey so far.
“However, I totally denounce the party currently happening in Abuja. It is a symbolic dance on the graves of those murdered FGC children.
“It’s a slap on the faces of those FGC parents currently mourning their children, and those crying over their abducted children.”
