The vice president also called on the state residents to unite and tolerate each other to achieve a peaceful Plateau.
“Let us eschew violence, embrace, and tolerate each other; let us unite to fight our common enemy of poverty and other challenges.
“We are essentially one people, and we must learn to live in peace or perish together.
“So, I urge us all to eschew bitterness, forgive, and embrace one another for the greater good of our nation,” he said.
Mr Shettima said the federal government would continually support initiatives that would enable peaceful coexistence in the country.
