Southern Kaduna: Afenifere, Ohaneze slam Buhari Govt over killings
The Southern and MiddleBelt Leaders Forum has criticised the attitude of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration on the killings in Southern Kaduna.
The forum in a statement jointly signed by Yinka Odumakin , Chief Guy Ikokwu , Senator Bassey Henshaw and Dr Isuwa Dogo , condemned a statement by the Senior Special Adviser to the President, Garba Shehu who claimed the killings are politically motivated. The group in the statement called on the government to desist from making claims that will further flame the crisis.
“instead of the Buhari-led Federal Government of Nigeria stepping in to find a lasting solution amid tardiness by the state government, it is unfortunate that it has resorted to provocative statements. “One of such is the annoying claims credited to the Senior Special Assistant to the President of Nigeria, Malam Garba Shehu, on July 21, 2020, that ‘the problem in Southern Kaduna is an evil combination of politically-motivated banditry, revenge killings and mutual violence by criminal gangs acting on ethnic and religious grounds’,” the group noted.
