Former military head of state, General
Yakubu Gowon (rtd) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to identify
arrest and deal with the culprits responsible for the various killings
across the country perpetrated by suspected bandits and herdsmen.
General
Gowon, who was speaking while in Katsina State for a 2-day North West
zone Nigeria Prays event, also called on government to bring justice to
all those affected by the incidence. He said Nigerians needed to come
together and condemn all forms of animosity among her citizens,
including bloodletting, clashes, and hate speech.
The former
Nigerian leader further observed that if it were not for God’s mercy,
the country would have been plunged into crises as result of the
killings, as orchestrated recently in Plateau state where more than 100
people lost their lives.
He maintained that the Nigeria Prays
project is aimed at praying for the peace, prosperity and security of
the country, adding that prayers were able to solve problems faster than
what generals and solders were able to do with weapons of war.
He
said “We are gathered in the true spirit of worship to intercede
fervently for our dear nation for God’s intervention in our affairs,
particularly social, political and economic, and to douse hatred and
animosity amongst our citizens’’.
“If not for God’s abundant mercy and grace, the nation would have been plunged into another round of crises’’. “Let
us be assured that our prayers are not in vain. I can say this with
every authority that prayer can solve problems better and faster than
generals and soldiers can do with physical weapons of war’’.
“I
have no doubt in my heart that God will honor our collective prayers and
intercession for our nation and heal our nation of insecurity.”
“We
however call on the authorities to deal with culprits and bring justice
to the grieved. We must rise to condemn needles bloodletting and
clashes, hate speeches and all manner of evil,”
The event, which lasted for two days, is expected to be held in other parts of the country in the coming months.
