President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed concerns over the continued violence in most parts of the North.
The
President, who expressed voiced his worries while delivering the
opening remark at the ongoing meeting of the Board of Trustees of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), debunked speculations that all the
killings are carried out by members of the outlawed Boko Haram sect.
He
cited the recent massacre in Zamfara State as example saying security
reports at his disposal indicated that the violence was purely ethnic
cleansing and wondered why ethnic groups that had co-existed in peace
for several decades resorted to killing themselves.
Information
Nigeria reports that gunmen stormed four villages in Tsafe Local
Government Area of Zamfara State in the early hours of Tuesday and
killed scores of including a village head.
Mr Jonathan asked the governors present at the meeting to take up the security challenges and reverse the ugly trend.
The
President also expressed optimism that despite the challenges posed by
corruption, Nigeria would be a better place to live in, in the next five
years.
REPORT ANY SUSPICIOUS PERSONS MOVING IN AND OUT OF YOUR VICINITY AND SAFEGUARD THE LIVE OF INNOCENT NIGERIANS.
