Political Interpretation Could Ignite Unprecedented Crises – Osinbanjo by theJournalng(m): 11:46am On Jan 08, 2018 |
The Nigerian Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has recently cautioned the recent alleged killings by the Fulani herdsmen should not be politicised. According to him, a political interpretation of the situation could ignite unprecedented crises. He warned that under no condition should Nigerians allow anyone to create a religious crisis. The vice president made the statement at the inter-denominational church service to mark the 2018 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration at the National Christian Centre in Abuja on Sunday, January 7th, 2018. Osinbanjo recalled that it was the politicisation of Boko Haram at the early stage of the group that gave rise to its heinous activities, and enjoined Nigerians not to fall into another snare regarding the problems associated with herdsmen. His words: “We must recognise that as dangerous and as deadly and heartless as these killings are, there is also the danger of our allowing politics to play a part as this could lead to what we sometimes 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 thrived, was because of the politicisation of the insurgency. ” “There were those who are planning to benefit politically from the tragedy and they painted the opposition then as the perpetrator. ” He further stated: “Again, we see some today who want to benefit politically from the killing of women and children in Adamawa, Benue, Jos and several other places stoking the embers of ethnicity and religion.” “By their hate speeches, they want to fix the criminal acts of the few individuals on who thrives and hold people and they would want to create a religious crisis if they are allowed.” “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 areas.
