Plateau State Governor Jonah Jang has
solicited for the assistance of the US government in the fight against
terrorist activities in the country.
Jang said that terrorism had become a global phenomenon which required international cooperation to fight.
The governor, who spoke when the Charge
D’ Affairs, America Embassy in Nigeria, Mr. Martins Brian, visited him
in Jos, the Plateau State capital, on Monday, said if the Federal
Government had listened to his concern over the infiltration of the
state by foreigners, the crisis in the state would have been nipped in
the bud.
“Terrorism has become a global
phenomenon, with no boundary and requires combined efforts of states and
international community to handle,” Jang said and pleaded for the help
of the US in bringing the problem to a permanent end.
The governor said his government had
cried out on many occasions over the involvement of foreigners in the
crisis in the state but that his cries and complaints had been ignored.
He said, “Plateau State, like any other
parts of the country especially in the north, has its own challenges;
our challenges started many years ago when the military was in power.
When I came in I always believe that as a retired general I should be
able to resolve the problems, even though we have been misunderstood on
this issue. May be if we have been listened to from the beginning the
insurgence in the north would have been arrested.
“When we started reporting about
foreigners getting involved in the crisis here, we were not believed. It
is about foreigners involving in the internal matter affecting the
country. I thank God I have been vindicated, what we are trying to stop
here escalated and developed into Boko Haram from which some parts of
the north are suffering today.”
