The All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate Campaign Organisation, Muhammadu Buhari, has deplored the frequent resort to violence to deal with perceived grievances by the people.

Reacting to the incident at Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State, where dozens, mainly women and children were killed in cold blood by suspected herdsmen, the APC presidential candidate said in a statement in Abuja on Monday that the resort to violence in whatever form is not acceptable and justifiable, no matter the grievances.

Garba Shehu, Director of Media and Publicity of the APC presidential campaign organization, quoted Mr. Buhari as saying that the cordial relationships that once existed between and among the people have been replaced by intolerance and hate.

According to the statement, leadership is the key to dealing with frequent communal clashes between Fulanis and Benue communities over disputes about farmlands and grazing lands.

Mr. Buhari said political leaders should be able to build trust among the people as the basis for dialogue, adding that “if the people can no longer listen to their leaders, such crises might persist and make life more miserable for the people”.

While condoling the families of the of the victims of violence in Benue State, Mr. Buhari called on all politicians regardless of partisan divide, to unite and speak with one voice over these embarrassing incidents.

He explained that confidence building is the only approach the people that could bring the people together for dialogue at the negotiation table, adding that “in moments of tensions, leaders should rise to the occasion and be part of the solution”.

That is a president for you..unlike some presido's that are busy sponsoring anti-JEGA protest forgetting dia duties and responsibilities.

Good for him but a desperate move to win votes. Fulani herdsmen has been attacking villages in the north for years and he has never ever condemned any of their acts.... until now. Hmm

Buhari is like a serpent, He never condemned all these while, if the Benue people should retaliate, he'll go and meet the governor and be asking silly questions like "why are your people killing my people?", like he did some years back in ondo.

Heartless man!

So it is no longer your people are killing my people mantra Elections and desire to gather votes can change people temporary.It can make one to do and undo thats why someone can tempoary let go of his innermost belif and lie to appear as a friend.Buhari must be weeping as he was making this statement how can he deny the superiority of his fulani tribe but votes is important .Fulani has been murdering people for years but this is election period condemn your kinsmen halfheartedly for votes

Meanwhile GEJ till 2019

"Mtcheeew..how that one take win 2nd term for me?"

If he didn't condemn the killings you and your lots would still have something to say. Go boil your heads TANiods!

At last, he is talking. Every one knows Buhari is.an influential Fulani leader in this country and he should be answerable for a lot of atrocities they commit.

After they have butchered countless of innocent farmers, stealing their crops and even killing their women like that pregnant Yoruba woman they killed last year, its now to win elections he is at last calling his boys to order. As if that's going to raise the dead his people killed.

how can one reason this way? So Buhari should be blamed for every crime commited by the fulani men in Nigeria?
