The southeast chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress, on Wednesday, stated that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is doing everything in its power to end the scourge of the Fulani herdsmen.
This was contained in a statement signed by the spokesperson of the South East caucus of the party, Osita Okechukwu.
The statement called for an end to the attacks and all forms of reprisal attacks.
While commiserating with the families of the bereaved in Enugu and Agatu, the Southeast APC appealed for calm, saying that President Buhari is “quietly” working around the clock to bring the culprits to their knees.
He said: “It is painful that while the Federal Government of Nigeria is doing everything possible to contain the Boko Haram insurgency; another virus in the name of Herdsmen is dislocating the security architecture of our dear country. Yesterday it was Agatu in Benue State; today it is Ukpabio Nimbo in Enugu State. It must stop.”
“May we use this opportunity to deeply commiserate with the families of the bereaved; in particular the people and government of Benue and Enugu States. God in his infinite mercy will surely heal the wounds.
“In sum, we appeal for calm and urge all to take solace on the truism that the Federal Government of Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari is quietly working round the clock to stop the bloodletting, fish out the culprits and the masterminds who equip the Herdsmen with sophisticated weapons.”
