- Sule emphasized the governors’ plan to engage with the victims and key stakeholders affected by the tragic Christmas eve incidents
Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has announced that North Central state governors will step in to address the Plateau State crisis and work towards securing lasting peace.
He shared this commitment with State House correspondents following a meeting with President Bola Tinubu in Lagos on Sunday.
Sule emphasized the governors’ plan to engage with the victims and key stakeholders affected by the tragic Christmas eve incidents.
“I’m also the chairman of the North Central Governors Gorum. So, I told Mr. President about some of the things happening in our own zone, including issues in Plateau.
He said, “Mr President is very concerned about the security of the people and very concerned about what is happening on the Plateau and what is happening in the Northeast and most especially in the North Central.
“We are going to Plateau and we’re going to use the opportunity to talk to some major stakeholders or major actors.
“These issues of the Plateau are not the first time if you remember, I visited Governor Lalong when they had a similar situation.
“And it was an opportunity that I went with some traditional rulers, some religious leaders, and we were able to speak with a lot of people and since then, there had been some level of sanity until what just happened.
“The vice president visited and he was able to get a lot of information and when we also want to visit, I will talk to different kinds of people at the different level.
“I will be able to get more information that will feed Mr. President and wait for him to take proper action.”
Sule said he was not able to come on Monday when his colleagues came under the umbrella of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum because he travelled abroad.
While travelling, he said, the President gave him an assignment concerning the Lithium project in Nasarawa State.
“So, while I came to felicitate the President on the Christmas and New Year festivities, I also came to brief him on the assignment on the Lithium project in our state.
“I used the opportunity to return the complete information about what he asked me for,” he said.
