Prince Gboyega Nasir Isiaka, Ogun State governorship aspirant on the platform of the African Democratic Congress in the forthcoming 2019 general election, has condemned the gruesome massacre in Plateau State last Sunday of over 100 people, including children and women.
In a statement by his media assistant, Wale Junaid, the leading governorship aspirant urged the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government to stop politicizing the killings but find a lasting solution to the herdsmen attacks across the North Central states by tracking down the perpetrators and bringing them to book.
The statement also slammed the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria for claiming the killing is a payback for 300 stolen cattle.
Isiaka was quoted as having said: “It is the basic responsibility of the government to ensure the safety and co-living of all Nigerian irrespective of who they are or where they live without any fear or favour but with the constants attacks on innocent people, it seems the APC led federal government is failing in its responsibility.”
He, therefore, assureed Ogun State residents of better collaboration with security agencies and adequately providing necessary crime-fighting equipment for security agencies and also setting up community watchmen to secure lives and properties in the entire state if elected governor of the state from 2019.
