APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has cancelled the 13th colloquium to celebrate his 70th birthday over the attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train on Monday.
Tinubu made the announcement immediately after the event started at Eko Hotel and Suites.
The former Lagos state governor said he was just being informed of the train attack after being involved in prayer sessions since morning.
“I have just been informed of a very sad incident in our country, that over 60 people and many more were killed and bombed on a train in Kaduna. I have been praying since and I didn’t hear anything.
“That’s a very serious incident in the country and it calls for a very sober reflection.
“For me to me a dancing a rejoicing and enjoying myself doesn’t show enough concern as a senior citizen of the country.
“I have consulted with all the people you see here with me and we have decided to cancel this event.
“I call on the clergy here to pray for the victims and for Nigeria,” Tinubu said.
