Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo says allowing politics to play a part in the killings in different parts of the country is like pouring petrol into a burning fire.

He also appealed to those affected by the killings not to retaliate

He spoke at the inter-denominational church service for the 2018 armed forces remembrance day celebration, held at the National Christian Center, Abuja.

“The first obligation is to religiously defend the unity and territorial integrity of Nigeria by words and action,” he said.

“Rebuking firmly, and sometimes by recourse to law, those who by their word and action threaten to break the bond of nationhood paid for so dearly by the blood and sweat of our military.

“Second is to defend faithfully the freedoms and rights that form the fundament of our society in nationhood. We have seen in the past few years how these rights have been challenged by the mindless extremism of the Boko Haram in the north-east and how again our fallen military, the police and even the civilian populace have risen jointly to route these criminals combatants and restore peace in most communities in that zone.

“We have also seen even recently the killings that have resulted in attacks of herdsmen on farmers and communities and also where communities have attached herdsmen.

“The state of violence and loss of lives in Rivers State, the Badoo killings in Lagos and Ogun, the president has ordered the police and armed forces to deal decisively with these killings to ensure that the perpetrators are found and punished.

“He has also through various strategic meetings task security agencies to work to find lasting solutions to these issues. But we recognised that as dangerous and deadly as heartless as these killings are, it is also the danger of allowing politics to play a part and to sometimes as they say pour petrol into an already burning fire.

“We must not permit the politicisation of this tragedy. One of the reasons why for years Boko Haram strife was because of the politicisation of the insurgency. They were those who were planning to benefit politically from the tragedy and the painted the opposition then as the perpetrator.

“Our obligation is to stop them from playing dangerous politics that could threaten our unity and stability, just as we continue to enforce the peace in the troubled area.”

Fulani herdsmen are really killing

Either politicize or not it should stop

People are been killed

I saw with my own eyes

The so called northern leaders should speak against it

Why junaid Mohammed, Sultan of sokoto, Sanusi lamido sanusi and all that are saying pmb should not return are not talking about Fulani herdsmen.

Why is it not taking place in the core north?


Why is it Christian dominated areas ?

Please the FG should stop playing to the gallery

À

I didn't want to say this cos it sounds inappropriate but am gonna say it nonetheless;

Karma!

Oh the ineffectual VP is back from vacation I guess; can't wait to see his wife kneeling down again...

The killings were by ipob youths disguising as Fulani herdsmen sponsored by GEJ. BUHARI is doing his best to ensure security of Nigerian cows and Fulani properties
So why are u complaining when the herdsmen are only ensuring the unity of Nigeria.

In fact anybody who speaks against Fulani herdsmen is crossing the national red line and must be dealt with decisively.

SAI BUHARI Jare!!!!!!
ONYE GBA OSO?

Fulani Herdsmen Killed Some people in Kaduna, they Blamed Governor Elrufai, And The Same Herdsmen killed Some people in Benue They blame Buhari...

They want to campaign with people's misfortunes..

Ndi ara!

The first speech by either of the top 2 since the massacre.....ISSOKAY....,,

But at the moment of the accident of Yusuf Buhari, all medias were filled with photos of commiserations and visitations....

ISSOKAY..

P

Professor would undermine his goodwill pretty soon if he continues to prop up a government that is clearly destined for capitulation by it's failure to deliver on it's 4 prong manifesto of security, employment, economy and corruption.

this dude dey only sabi talk from church gathering and turning mute from aso rock.

Listen to the trash this man is vomiting. "...killings that resulted in herdsmen attack..." Which killings please my VP. It is indeed a shame on your person that you are averting the truth. God is watching you people. We expect you to condemn these Fulani herdsmen menace and here you are taking sides. Pastor my foot.

U are a human or a ghost Mr?

You said this dwarf is a Professor? Instead of talking of how to stop the killings, he's talking of how to stop those politicising the killings. Just stop the killings and there will be no room for anybody to politicize it.

Because you know that was the same strategy that killed pdp so you want to stop it?

See a mere commissioner talking.
It's the same way APC and Buhari benefitted each time BH carried out successive raids and killings when GEJ was in charge.
Just like in the case of Buhari,I never believed I once saw this shallow Osinbajo as a presidential material.
So shallow and hollow in his speeches and actions.

“Our obligation is to stop them from playing
dangerous politics that could threaten our
unity and stability, just as we continue to
enforce the peace in the troubled area.”

Peaceful IPOB is more dangerous than armed Fulani herdsmen terrorists.

For the past one week now, your comments have really been way more stupid and senseless. People told you a time like this will come when it will be impossible to defend Buhari because he is undefendable..

I know that the country is tough and you may have lost your conscience maybe because you concluded years back that hunger is bad.. but believe me, the worst is yet to come for you if you don't stop this job of defending wickedness because "whatever goes around....."
Remember also that man shall not live by bread alone.. whoever feeds off this government in exchange for defending it's wickedness is enjoying blood money and I promise you, karma will come knocking in due time.
