The Speaker of Nigeria's House, Tajudeen Abbas, called the Maiduguri mosque bombing totally barbaric. Through a spokesman named Musa Krishi, Abbas stated the attack during prayers was pure wickedness, an assault on the country itself. He offered condolences to families in Borno State and all Nigerians affected by the deaths and injuries.
Abbas expressed confidence in federal efforts to improve security, praising agencies for their ongoing sacrifices. He insisted the attackers would ultimately fail in their goals. Their attempt to divide the country or stop progress toward a safer, more prosperous Nigeria would not succeed. The Speaker also wished for the dead to rest in peace, for the wounded to heal quickly, and for grieving families to find strength.
