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.
