From Pwanagba Agabus, Jos

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has suggested ways to end the recurring clashes between Berom and Fulani ethnic nationalities in Plateau State.

Obasanjo asked the federal and state governments to identity the root cause(s) of insecurity and deal with them so that people would get reprieve from the incessant violence plaguing the state and other parts of the country.

He admitted that there were problems during his tenure but “not in this magnitude” and believed that solutions can be found to them.

The former President who visited Jos to commiserate with Governor Simon Lalong and the people of the state over the recent killings in the state extended his condolences to the bereaved families.

Obasanjo said: “I’m here to express my condolences, what happened is very sad that in this day and age this type of barbaric act is taking place in our country. I have suggested and I will say it again that we should find out the root cause(s) of this problem and deal with it

“There must be remote and immediate causes, if we deal with them, we are not going to be multiplying condolence visits.

“I believe that any human problem has human solution, I do hope and plead with government at the federal level, those of you in states and even local government level to join hands even at the community level to find the causes and deal with them permanently,” he stressed.

“We offer our condolences to the bereaved families, all we can say is that God knows the best. Even in my time, we had problems but not in this magnitude, we thought we were dealing with them as at that time but the earlier we deal with it, the better. I believe we can find solutions, we must find solutions,” he maintained.

Responding, Governor Lalong appreciated his coming, but noted that a phone call would have sufficed.

He said: “Insecurity is not new to me, we thought we could handle it. When we came in, we quickly put up a team including Berom and Fulani. They came out with a roadmap to proffer solutions, we adopted the recommendations and have implemented some and was in the process of implementing the remaining ones.

“We have done our best, we have learnt our lessons, we will be very firm,” he stated.

Obasanjo has spoken well...but the problem is that Buhari is deaf

The remote and immediate cause cannot be identified, which means we need to dismantled the country,
Because the problem started long ago.
So nobody should blamed buhari for political purpose.

A catalyst can never be a solution , Buhari is a a catalyst in this crisis and expecting him to solve it is akin to trying to use petrol to quench fire ..it can't happen .

What did Obasanjo do when he was in power? Bloody hypocrite.

Plateau state violence claimed 53,000 lives - report

LAGOS, 8 October 2004

More than 53,000 people were killed during three years of sectarian violence that engulfed Plateau State in central Nigeria, according to a report by a government committee offering the first official death toll of the crisis.

A committee appointed by the Plateau State government investigated the period between 7 September 2001 -- when a week of bloodletting in the state capital Jos left more than 1,000 dead -- to 18 May 2004, when President Olusegun Obasanjo declared emergency rule in the state following the massacre of hundreds of Muslims in the town of Yelwa by a Christian militia.

And you couldn't find solutions to the problem when you were paddling the affairs of this country. Remember 2004 Jos was hurt. You declared state of emergency. Why is it that you as president was not able to find the root causes of the problem. Why are u given solution now. The solution you could not came up with during you time.
You're no more relevant. Your time is up baba busy body
