The Forum Chairman and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, made the appeal in a statement he issued in Abuja, according to NAN.
Lalong said that with the ensuing development following the announcement of the suspension of the initiative; it had become pertinent for him as Chairman of the forum to make clarifications on the true position in order to calm nerves. “Meanwhile, we urge all stakeholders and all shades of interested parties, especially from the North, to remain calm and air their views democratically and decently while allowing the government chance to handle the matter.
“We acknowledge here the Coalition’s concerns and in particular, its decency in urging the northern people to remain civil and resist the temptation to be drawn into anything untoward.
