Senator Makarfi Expresses Concern over Resurgence of
Violence in Kaduna
Senator Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi is disturbed and saddened by news
of the resurgence of violence in the southern part of Kaduna
State.
Senator Makarfi, as always, believes that resort to violence as
an expression of grievance, complicates, rather than solve
problems. It is his conviction that constructive communication
between and among people and communities is the surest recipe to
mutual respect and understanding, without which there can be no
development. In respect of local issues, he appeals to all to
eschew violence and embrace dialogue as a means to a sustainable
resolution to whatever problem, however knotty. He also calls on
the people to cooperate with the government as it grapples with
this and other challenges.
Senator Makarfi also calls on the government at both federal and
state levels to ensure that the security agencies are adequately
mobilised to properly secure the area, in particular, given the
suspected infiltration from outside. He also advises the
authorities, particularly at the state level to intensify efforts
at finding a lasting solution to the problem through the
constructive engagement of all stakeholders, such as traditional,
religious, community and political leaders.
Senator Makarfi conveys most heartfelt condolences to the
families of those who lost their lives as well as the government
and people of Kaduna State. He prays to God Almighty to grant
eternal rest to the dead and fortitude to bear the losses to the
families and all of us.
