A called for peace and unity ‘we should be fighting poverty not each other’, VP Shettima on killings in Plateau

The Vice President, Kashim Shettima, on Wednesday, April 16, called for peace and unity among Nigerians across all regions, ethnicities, and religions.

Shettima said Nigerians have no business fighting each other no matter the provocation.

The Vice President said this during the Validation Workshop on Framework for the Anticipatory Action for Nigeria at the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), Office of the National Security Adviser in Abuja.

Condemning the repeated killings by some yet-to-be-identified gunmen in Plateau state, Shetiltima said Nigerians should rather be United in fighting poverty.

He said, “We have no business fighting each other. We should be fighting poverty.

“The heart of the President bleeds, as does my heart and the heart of every conscientious Nigerian and African, with the tragedy unfolding in Plateau State.”
