Plateau attacks similar to Rwanda genocide – North Central governors

 Governors in the six North Central states, on Tuesday,
called on the Federal Government to do everything possible to find a permanent
solution on the attacks and killings in Plateau State.

 

Recall that gunmen on Christmas eve, attacked 25
communities in three local government areas of Plateau State, killing over 150
people.

 

The Governor of Nasarawa State and Chairman of the North
Central Governors’ Forum, Abdullahi Sule, explained that the Plateau killings
should not be tagged herder-farmer clashes.

 

He said what was happening in Plateau was similar to what
happened in Rwanda.

 

Sule led his colleagues on a condolence visit to the
Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang, in Jos.

 

He was accompanied by governors of Niger and Benue states,
Mohammed Bago and Rev Fr Hyacinth Alia, respectively.

 

Sule lamented that the attacks in Plateau had persisted for
too long.

 

He said, “We cannot allow a few people for selfish reasons
to come in and destroy all of us.

 

“This is not about Fulani. It is about criminals and we are
asking the Federal Government to assist us and deal with the problem.”

 

He added that they were in Jos to share the moment of grief
with Governor Mutfwang.

 

Governor Mutfwang, in his remarks, thanked the governors for
their concern over the situation in Plateau, noting that the people of the
state were desirous of unity and progress.

 

He stated that the bandits were terrorists, kidnappers and
thieves.
