Nigeria Governors\u2019 Forum (NGF) yesterday called for support for the Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang in his efforts to address the security challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No fewer than 100 people were killed in multiple attacks on communities within one week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NGF\u2019s Chairman and Governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, made the call during a visit to Plateau State in company with some governors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement by the NGF secretariat, Abdulrazaq sympathised with the people over the killings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said: \u201cOn behalf of the Nigeria Governors\u2019 Forum and the people of our states, I bring you sincere words of condolences on the unfortunate events in which many of our compatriots have lost their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe call on leaders and influencers across all communities and sectors in Plateau to join His Excellency in the task of uniting the people and restoring sustainable peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLeaders, including youth leaders, should come together to speak strongly against violence of any kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plateau killings: A campaign of ethnic cleansing, says Mutfwang
When will killings in Plateau stop?
\u201cWe urge that we resolve our differences through dialogue, fair negotiations, mutual respect, and perspective-taking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSustainable development can be a mirage in an atmosphere of tension and violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPlateau is full of potential, especially in agriculture and tourism. But these potentials could be affected negatively if we allow violence or threats to define how people see our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe commend His Excellency the Governor for his leadership at this critical moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur visit is to express our solidarity with His Excellency and the government and the good people of Plateau State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe pray to God Almighty to repose the souls of the victims and restore peace to our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The governors on the team are Babagana Zulum (Borno), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Hyacinth Alia (Benue), Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), and Nasarawa State Deputy Governor, Dr Emmanuel Akabe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
