President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been advised not to toe the ignoble path of his predecessors who only mourned victims of killings in press statements, thereby reducing themselves to mourners-in-chief instead of taking responsibility as commanders-in-chief
Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara gave the advice when he led some serving and former members of the House of Representatives on a condolence visit to Governor Caleb Mutfwang on Saturday in Jos, Plateau State over the recent massacre of about 200 people in Bokkos and Barkin Ladi local government areas.
He urged the President to rise to the occasion and use every available coersive apparatus to locate the perpetrators and sponsors of violence across the country and bring them to justice.
Hon Dogara maintained that those responsible for the genocide and orgy of violence are all out to end our ways of life and must be stopped.
“The perpetrators of these violence are not just crazy but are very dangerous, and the truth is that they won’t just stop until we stop them. We must stop them. Who has the responsibility to stop them? It is the commander-in-chief, but previously, they reduced themselves to mourners-in-chief instead.
“It means using whatever coersive security apparatus we have as a nation to locate where these perpetrators are and their sponsors wherever they are littered in the ungoverned spaces that we have in Nigeria whether in Plateau, Nasarawa, Benue, Katsina, Zamfara, Sokoto or in southern Kaduna or in the south, we must locate them and after locating them, the commander-in-chief must take justice to them or bring them to justice.”
