Governors beg Boko Haram

Alarmed by the wanton destruction of lives and property by Boko Haram insurgents, governors in the North-East zone of the country, yesterday, declared that ‘enough is enough’ even as they launched moves to dialogue with the terrorists and end the orgy of violence in the region.

To achieve this objective, the governors of Bauchi (Isa Yuguda), Taraba (Garba Umar, acting Governor) and Gombe(Ibrahim Dankwambo) states, yesterday, met for several hours in Gombe and mapped out measures aimed at appeasing the sect members to lay down their arms and embrace peace.
Yuguda appealed to members of the sect to stop the carnage, as according to him, there is no religion that preaches violence or for someone to take another person’s life.

“For Allah’s sake, we are appealing to whoever is behind the wanton killings and destruction of property in the region to stop, and let us sit down and chart the way forward to ensure that peace and unity return to the North-East in particular and Nigeria as a whole.

“We are, therefore, looking forward that in the next few weeks, our young ones who have been perpetrating such deadly act will come forward so that we will collectively talk on how to iron out our differences,” Yuguda appealed.
