Governors of Nigeria’s 19 Northern States on Saturday in Kaduna endorsed the actions of Kaduna State, the location of last weekend’s violence involving Nigeria's Shiites.

In a communique issued at the end of a meeting, the governors stressed that all Nigerians should respect the law and constituted authority, adding that organization, whether religious or social, must operate within the law.

Offering condolences to the families of all those who lost their lives in the Zaria tragedy, and wishing the wounded speedy recovery, they endorsed all the steps taken so far by the government of Kaduna State to contain the situation.

They also expressed support for the decision of the Governor of Kaduna to constitute a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to examine the remote and immediate causes of the Zaria incident, and commended him for it.

The governors reassured citizens of their readiness to maintain law and order while respecting the constitutional rights of citizens to practice their faith without infringing on the rights of others.

They however frowned on arbitrary blockage of highways by unauthorized processions which inconvenience others, and resolved that processions must henceforth have police permit and protection as prescribed by the law.
The governors reaffirmed their commitment to take measures to revive and grow the economies of Northern States to create jobs and other opportunities, adding that efforts are already in top gear to review agriculture and industries related to agriculture.

The called on all Nigerians, irrespective of differences in political affiliations, religious persuasions, sectional or ethnic backgrounds, to coalesce into a single unit and collectively fight the nation’s common tragedies of poverty, destitution and illiteracy.

“The problems confronting us go beyond politics,” they said. “We should unite to confront our common challenges.”

Encouraging citizens to report suspicious and concerns to constituted authority, the governors appealed to the media to exercise restraint and decorum, and to avoid inflaming passions or stoking the embers of division and intolerance.

crosbreaka:


you are talking as a Sunni i guess.

i have been following news for a long time. i have not come across a news that a Shiite suicide bomber blew himself up in a Sunni mosque. it is always the other way round. why?

the weapons i saw in the video are household tools like catapult, stick, and machete in contrast to heavily armed soldiers with guns.

i would advise you to put away your religious sentiments and talk as a human being. most, if not all people on this forum are not Shia, and not even Muslims, but it is out of human sympathy we talk.

EgunMogaji:


I agree.

Why would a thread that supports violence and in violation of Nairalands policy #3 be on the front page?

"3. Don't threaten, support or DEFEND violent acts against any person, tribe, race, animals, or group (e.g. rape)."

billyG:

What a misleading Headline.

boboLIL:
North go hot die by next year...

Boko haram sponsored by b00hari

Shittes sponsored. By iran, irag dem..


Clash of the 'religion of peace'


God is never asleep

Demmocrats:


For how many years the north has been in power but nothing to show for.

MindTwister:
Comedy of Errors. You kill Shiites blocking Kaduna Zaria way but allow millions others to block roads leading to major mosques across the whole country on Fridays.

Road Blockers United.

Stop killing innocent people and they all are until a competent court says otherwise.

Abi dem block your brains join?

crosbreaka:
it is now getting very obvious and logical why the army would escalate the road clash and later storm the Shiite Hussainiyah (religious center) and the house of Zakzaky to kill at sight and demolish properties after the army chief had already passed, and seven were killed on the road.

it looks like El Rufai had plans all along to demolish their worship center and ban their procession; just waiting for the right excuse and time. El Rufai cannot do without demolition; its in him like Peak Milk! the question now is will these peaceful people be allowed to conduct their religious procession if they seek government cover and permit? or would they be discriminated against? the military action and crimes committed against civilians are not justifiable.

biafranrealson:
i truly support the agitation for the division of this contraption called Nigeria with due respect. firstly , this country is not working and will never work. How come Northern Governors support the killing of unarmed civilians simply because they blocked road for religious activity when on every Fridays, roads,streets are blocked for prayers.
what if a southerner is the army chief , will they still endorse the killings.?

SirChime:
IS IT BECAUSE IT IS BUHARI? Yes! we might be of different orientation and background but what is good is good any where any time and what is bad is bad, I cannot be suffering and keep smiling because "my brother" is the president.
