Atiku stated that he could not in good conscience continue with the celebration when the national mood is that of mourning.
According to Atiku, "There will be many more years to celebrate birthdays, but tonight is a very sad and sober one for Nigeria. It's best we just pray at home. I would appeal to all who are able, to send donations in cash and kind to the victims of the bomb blast and Internally Displaced Persons in the North East."
After Christian and Muslim prayers were said for the victims of the bomb blast and terror attacks, Atiku left the venue. The event become a prayer session for victims of terror and safety of the country at large.
