“The crisis in Plateau State has nothing to do with religion. It is just for us to understand ourselves and coexist peacefully with one another.”
Vice President Kashim Shettima has assured that all parts of Nigeria would be made to feel the impact of government under President Bola Tinubu administration.
He said ensuring that no part of the country is left out in the administration’s quest for development is the only way through which peace, unity and development can be sustained.
Shettima gave the assurance on Friday while playing host to a traditional ruler from Mangu in Plateau State, the Mishkahan Mwaghavul, HRH John Hirse, who led a team on a courtesy call to his office at the State House, Abuja.
He assured the delegation that peace would be restored in Mangu in the shortest possible time, noting that President Tinubu is on top of the situation and thus the inevitable return of peace to all troubled parts of the country.
According to him: “The crisis in Plateau State has nothing to do with religion. It is just for us to understand ourselves and coexist peacefully with one another. Plateau State is a blessed land with both Muslims and Christians. What binds us together supersedes what divides us. This administration will deploy all resources towards addressing all the political contradictions in the bid to restore peace and harmony in the State.
“We are going to address, by the grace of God, all the internal contradictions, the political connotations and even the ethnic undertones which are part of the conflict and ensure we find a lasting solution.
“Ours is a great nation chained by so-called social contradictions that we have in the system and it is absolutely essential that for peace and development of our nation, we must restore the confidence of the people and the government”.
Earlier in his remarks, the Mishkahan Mwaghavul, Da John Putmang Hirse, said he and members of his delegation were in State House to show appreciation and thank the Vice President for attending his coronation.
He noted that the Vice President attending the coronation personally shows that he is a father of all.
The Royal father commiserated with the people of Kaduna State and commended the Vice President for the government’s response so far.
He pledged his support and that of his people to the Tinubu Administration.
