El-Rufai speaks on Kaduna killings

-

Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State on Monday addressed residents over recent violent clashes in the state.
The governor said in a statewide broadcast that the government remained committed to ensuring lasting peace across the state.



“The support of communities have been reassuring,” he said, adding that they must also “reject those who incite violence and divide us.”
The governor cautioned residents against spreading rumour and fake news which contributed largely to the violence.
He said that in spite of the relative peace across all communities, the 24-hour curfew imposed on Kaduna metropolis and environs still remain in force.
He, however, said that the State Security Council would meet on Tuesday morning to review the security situation and possibly reduce the hours of the curfew.
The governor said security agents have been directed to escort travellers passing through Kaduna to the outskirts of the town so as not to impeded the journey.
He assured that the government would vigorously pursue the prosecution of all those apprehended in the course of the recent violence across the state, including the 65 being prosecuted over an earlier violence in Kasuwan Magani in February.
El-Rufa’i, who commended security agents for their professionalism in containing the violence, however, stressed that the ultimate guarantee to peace lies in the willingness of all to live in peace and resolve misunderstandings amicably.

Media Mogul, Dele Momodu on Tuesday said Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is the reason some Nigerians still have hope in President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration. Momodu stated this while describing Osinbajo as pillar of APC administration who has made significant achievement in the past few years. He noted that Nigerians would not have noticed the weakness of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration if Yemi Osinbajo was made to perform professionally, citing his period while as acting president. He, however, pointed out that Osinbajo has not been able to perform at his best because of “banal politics of parochialism in the country.” Momodu on his Twitter page wrote: “I love our Vice President PROFESSOR YEMI OSINBAJO for many reasons, smart, intelligent, cerebral, God-fearing, energetic, and so on… He is one of the reasons many of us placed high hopes in the BUHARI Government. “He and a few others have made significant contributions to the modest achievements of this...
