Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of
Kano State has urged the Federal Government to probe the alleged attack on
Hausa community in Rivers State by suspected members of the Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB.
Ganduje averred that if those
behind the attack were not punished, such incident will keep recurring.
He made the call while addressing
the leadership of Northern Youth Coalition who paid him a courtesy visit in his
office, in Kano.
Ganduje, who noted that two
wrongs does not make a right, warned against actions or inaction that would
lead to reprisal attacks.
According to Ganduje, “The
Federal Government should quickly investigate the violent attacks on Hausa
community in Rivers and ensure that those behind it are not only punished but
also sanctioned to serve as deterrent.
“If those behind the attack are
not punished, the case will keep recurring and possibly lead to something else.
“IPOB is wrong in their violent
response to issues, and this cannot be a yardstick upon which somebody could
use to cause mayhem against innocent citizens.’’
The governor commended Northern
Youth on their stance for unity of Nigeria.
“This disposition of the Northern
Youth shows that they stand by one united Nigeria devoid of rancor and
instability, and this should be commended and also be emulated,’’ he said.
Ganduje had on Wednesday met with
Igbo leaders in Kano to assure them of his administration’s commitment to peace
and stability in the state.
