The President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has expressed sadness over the multiple explosions that rocked churches in Kaduna and Zaria, both in Kaduna State, on Sunday.
Jonathan, who spoke at a special service to commemorate the 2012 Fathers Day in Abuja, said the news of the blasts, which he received while the service was on, was a sad one for him.
The President said: “Particularly today, I was quite thrilled about what was going on in the church and when I got the information that while we were here, there were explosions in Kaduna and since I don’t even know the casualty rate and what is happening, I have been quite sad and I didn’t even want to say something.
“But when the priest orders you, you must say something.”
Jonathan said he remains confident that God would heal the nation.
