Former lawmaker, Shehu Sani has decried the recurring violence in Plateau State following the recent killings that marred Palm Sunday celebrations.
In a post shared on X on Monday, Sani described Plateau as a
state richly endowed with natural beauty and resources but plagued by cycles of
bloodshed.
He noted that the state is blessed with rolling hills, a
temperate climate, fertile soil, waterfalls, and mineral deposits, making it
one of the most naturally endowed regions in Nigeria.
Despite these advantages, he lamented that violence
continues to overshadow its potential.
Sani called for an end to the bloodshed and urged
stakeholders to work towards lasting peace in the state.
He wrote: “Plateau state is gifted with what nature denies
other states in the country: It’s breathtaking rolling hills, hospitable
‘temperate’ climates, majestic waterfalls, unmatched fertile soil and rare
minerals.
“Plateau is like a Divinely blessed rock of gold and
diamonds, cursed with the periodic rituals of unnecessarily shedding and
sacrificing the blood of the inhabitants around it.
“Anything on Earth you plant can grow on the plateau except
peace. Plateau appeals to the World with it’s dazzling, radiant and captivating
beauty but tragically scares the World with its Swords. Let there be peace on
the plateau.”
