The Imo State governor and
Chairman, Progressive Governors’ Forum, Rochas Okorocha, has disclosed that the
governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress will be in Plateau
State on Friday over the killings in the State.
Okorocha said that the governors
would assess the situation, and interact with the governor of the State, Mr.
Simon Lalong on solutions to stop further killings in the State and other parts
of the country.
Okorocha disclosed this on
Tuesday, at the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport on arrival from Abuja
after the National Convention of the APC.
He noted that the crisis was not
a religious one.
He said “I, with the rest of the
governors of APC condemn in its entirety these unwarranted killings of innocent
souls, and shedding of blood. We have called them insurgents, we’ve called them
Boko Haram, we have called them all kinds of baptismal names and because the
situation is not properly defined, most people hide under the cloak of religion
of Christianity or Islam to create harm.
“No religion on earth, not even
Christianity or Islam would warrant anyone to take anyone’s life. So this is
not indeed a religious issue.
“Nigerians must come together now
and fight this war properly because nationalism and religious differences have
been the loophole with which these criminals operate.”
