Violence, enmity will never solve any problem –
Osinbajor
Acting President Yemi Osibanjo on Friday said
violence and enmity will never solve any problem
in the country.
Osinbajo stated this in Kaduna during an
interactive session with prominent community
leaders at the state Government House.
The meeting was attended by traditional rulers
and religious leaders in the state.
The acting President said so many lives and
properties were lost because of crises among
various communities in the country.
“I must say that, there is no question whatsoever
that violence and enmity will never solve any
problems that we are experiencing.
“There is no way that it will be resolved that
way,” he said.
Osinbajo said he had read and studied reports on
the crisis that engulfed the southern part of the
state.
He added: “I have looked at few documents
including reports of past crises, and also have
taken security briefings on what is going on here.
“I want to say that I don’t want to be in a hurry, I
don’t want us to be in a hurry because I don’t
believe that a crisis where there has been so
much blood letting and so much hatred over the
years can be resolved by a couple of meetings.
“I have said to the Governor, that what I will like
to achieve is not a quick fix but I want us to
begin a process and I want to be a part of that
process.
“I want to see people as we have seated here
and I want to listen to each group separately and
then bring everyone together. I believe that
resolving this crisis will take a process not at
such meeting that we are having here.”
