my home town Abonnema. To serve Rivers, I first had to meet all my people, know them and understand them. My ward to ward consultation tour continues with the promise of A new Hope for Rivers. #PoliticsOfPeace#ANewHopeForRivers#TcMeansBusiness
Vice President @ProfOsinbajo is in Benue today to again convey our deepest condolences to the Government & people of Benue, and the Catholic Church, as the priests and parishioners killed in the despicable attack on St. Ignatius Church, Mbalom, last month, are laid to rest.
These senseless, unwarranted attacks on innocent civilians are utterly condemnable. And we will not rest until we bring all of these killers, who belong to the lowest level of civilization, to justice. Our security forces are on full alert, to checkmate these evil attacks.
As I’ve said before, these persistent killings are not spontaneous;there are clandestine forces with a sinister agenda to instigate war in Nigeria for selfish purposes. When they attack places of worship their aim is to turn Nigerians against one another on the basis of religion.
We must not succumb to the hate that they wish to sow; we must not fall for their evil machinations aimed at dividing us. Now more than ever before we must stand firm against their calculations to stoke religious conflict and plunge our communities into unending bloodletting.
