Christian And Islamic Leaders Are Culpable For Plateau Crisis – Lawmaker

Plateau state govenor, Simon Lalong
The deputy speaker of the Plateau state
house of assembly, Yusuf Gagdi has
blamed religious leaders in the state for
the violence that has characterised the
state for sometime now.
According to Gagdi, one of the reasons
the consistent ethno-religious crisis in
Plateau state has not been resolved is
because the religious leaders in the state
do not tell themselves the truth.
Gagdi made the remarks while
addressing journalists about the
assembly’s committee on peace and
security, which he heads.
He said: “It is obvious that most
religious leaders are hiding the truth
about Plateau crisis. What a Jamaatu
Nasiru Islam (JNI) official will tell you in
the absence of Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN) members, (he) will not
say same in the presence of CAN; same
also applies to (officials of) CAN.”
The deputy speaker also said the crisis
still exists because most people have
lost confidence in security officials,
adding that his committee at some point,
had to demand the redeployment of
some security officials.
“As a committee, if we discover that
people of a particular community no
longer have confidence in a security
official, we meet the head of such
security outfit for redeployment,” he
said.
He also stated that the loss of influence
by traditional rulers has also made the
crisis continue.
“…we have discovered that traditional
institutions are not in control of their
subjects,” he said.
According to Premium Times, he also
sighted said non-adherence to rule of
law as one of the factors causing the
crisis.
He said:“One of the major reason for the
trouble between Fulani herdsmen and
farmers in the state is due to cultivation
of grazing routes by farmers, and the
continued destruction of farm produce by
cows belonging to herdsmen.”
The lawmaker also frowned at
unnecessary barricade of roads by
communities describing it as “another
security treat.”
Meanwhile, the national leadership of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has
expressed shock over the sudden death
of its governorship flag-bearer in Plateau
state, Senator Gyang Pwajok.
Born on March 15, 1966, in Jos, Plateau
state, Gyang Nyam Shom, Pwajok,
popularly referred to as “G.N.S” based
on his initials, lived a greater part of his
childhood in the city.
