A former Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, says it is unfair to blame President Muhammadu Buhari for the incessant killings in the conflict between farmers and herders in some parts of Nigeria.




A former Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, says it is unfair to blame President Muhammadu Buhari for the incessant killings in the conflict between farmers and herders in some parts of Nigeria.


Mr Gowon, who was Nigeria’s military ruler between 1966 and 1974, said he believed the president has no hand in the killings.

“The Buhari I know will not be involved in such things. Certainly, no leader will encourage his people to be killed.”

He spoke on Tuesday at the Plateau State Government House when he paid a condolence visit to Governor Simon Lalong over the resurgence of violence in the state.

At least 200 persons were believed dead in the violence in three local government areas in the state.


Mr Gowon condemned social media reports linking the president to killings in Nigeria, describing the reports as unfortunate.

According to a statement by the state commissioner for Information and Communications, Yakubu Dati, Mr Gowon decried the past practice of releasing arrested suspects without their trial.

“People arrested should be investigated and prosecuted in Jos where the crime was committed,” the former leader said.

‎

Thanking him for the visit, Mr Lalong said the state government has reviewed the state laws to prosecute perpetrators of killings and these would soon be signed into law.


“We have reviewed adequate laws to prosecute offenders in Jos,” he said.

Mr Lalong thanked Mr Gowon for standing by the state as a father, adding that all efforts were being made to restore peace to the state.

I think Gowon is the only sane ex Nigerian leader. The rest are just foolish like the Ipigs.

What amazes me is that the propagandists saying Buhari is the one behind the killing haven’t asked themselves this question “ What will he gain? “.

Is he going to be re-elected by killing his subjects, those of which voted en mass for him in the last general election. What exactly will he gain, when he knows insecurity in the country means he’ll lose supporters.

Anybody that goes about saying Buhari is behind these killings need to have their brain checked .

Although, he might have been tackling this in the wrong way , coz if left to me he should have sacked all the security chiefs.

ZKOSOSO:
Gowon has always been a Fulani errand boy since in the military.

Even though Gowon is son to a clergyman he doesn't have it when it comes to defending his people in Plateau who are being killed in number by the same Buhari Fulani Cousins far and near.

This clearly shows that Gowon was never a true Leader.
He is a Coward. Trying to be politically correct like Zombies of APC.

It is only those idiotic pigs of Biafra who accuse Buhari of being behind the killings owing to their innate hatred.
