Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa says his North-Central counterparts will intervene in the Plateau crisis to find lasting peace.

The governor disclosed this to State House correspondents after a visit to President Bola Tinubu on Sunday in Lagos.

He said the governors would meet with the victims and other critical stakeholders involved in the Christmas eve killings.

“I’m also the chairman of the North-Central governors forum. So, I told Mr. President about some of the things happening in our own zone, including issues in Plateau.

“Mr President is very concerned about the security of the people and very concerned about what is happening on the Plateau and what is happening in the Northeast and most especially in the North Central.

“We are going to Plateau and we’re going to use the opportunity to talk to some major stakeholders or major actors. These issues of the Plateau are not the first time. If you remember, I visited Governor Lalong when they had a similar situation,” stated Mr Sule.

He added, “And it was an opportunity that I went with some traditional rulers, some religious leaders, and we were able to speak with a lot of people and since then, there had been some level of sanity until what just happened.

“The vice-president visited, and he was able to get a lot of information, and when we also want to visit, I will talk to different kinds of people at different levels. I will be able to get more information that will feed Mr. President and wait for him to take proper action.”

Mr Sule said he could not come on Monday when his colleagues came under the umbrella of the governors’ forum because he travelled abroad.

While travelling, he said, the president gave him an assignment concerning the lithium project in Nasarawa.

“So, while I came to felicitate with the president on the Christmas and New Year festivities, I also came to brief him on the assignment on the lithium project in our state. I used the opportunity to return the complete information about what he asked me for,” said the Narasawa governor.
