Meanwhile, the state governor, Jonah Jang, has appealed for calm and restraint in the wake of the latest attack. In a statement yesterday in Jos, the director of press to the governor, James Mannok, said Mr. Jang appealed to the people to go about their lawful businesses peacefully.
I just read this on an online page and couldn't help but scream, 'what the heck?'. Okay, I actually didn't scream out because I am in the office but I'd give anything to be able to scream that right now.
You mean your people are being slaughtered by their brothers and all you can offer is that they be calm, and go about their businesses, peacefully? What business? In what piece, abi peace? both apply and I don't swear, but this is one time I nearly would have done so.
A scenario occurs the first time right under your nose and you don't put security measures in place to avoid a re-occurrence. It happens again and you expect us to fold our hands and say with you its an error.
An error that has claimed the lives of hundreds of people, placed under your care, in very gruesome manners, that will make one lose his appetite for days. And make the very thought of eating food seem like eating saw-dust.
Please Jonah Jang, the name even makes me think of a book or was it a movie, something, something and the gang, gather your wits about you and seek for help for your people. If its beyond you let those who can handle it take over, you never know the next time it could be your family the axe will fall on, I'm not threatening anyone o. I'm no fulani.
What am I even doing pleading? Since our acting President has started 'acting', I think he should act again in the interest of the Plateau State indigenes. Yes, that's what I think, maybe, just maybe, he might be able to put a stop to the senseless killings repeatedly going on there.
