DIRECTORATE OF PRESS & PUBLIC AFFAIRS
OFFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR, PLATEAU STATE

PRESS RELEASE

The Executive Governor of Plateau State has expressed great dismay and shock at the sudden build up of tension in Jos Metropolis on account of the conduct of some disgruntled elements, who have decided to throw the metropolis into confusion on account of their negative reaction to the agitations of Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) in the South East.

Consequently, the Governor has directed an immediate imposition of curfew from dusk to dawn (6pm – 6am) within the Greater Jos – Bukuru Metropolis, until further notice. The deployment of security personnel to all flash points within the metropolis has also been directed to ensure compliance with the curfew order and to avert any further breach of law and order.

The Governor wishes to assure all citizens that the security and welfare as the primary concern of Government is assured by the Rescue Administration. He is therefore enjoining all citizens to go about their business with the assurance that their safety is guaranteed. He further appealed to all religious and community leaders, neighbourhood vigilantes as well as all law abiding citizens to ensure nobody is allowed to take advantage of this unfortunate situation to engage in criminality.

The Governor wishes to restate that Plateau State remains home to all citizens of Nigeria irrespective of religion, ethnic extraction or political persuasion. He therefore enjoins all peace loving citizens to ensure that nothing is allowed to upset the hard earned peace in the State.

Pray for Nigeria

During the military regime its always fight between Yorubas and Hausas,Yoruba faced Government then with their (govt) weapons now they are reaping their bravery, where were Igbos during those period? they can only come out when in democracy of which they didn't fight for.





See my mention everywhere because of the truth that hurts

All these lives lost because of a man's pride. The desire to prove a point and show that the general is back has jeopardised the lives of many. But know that the blood of all those shed will cry for vengeance. Who knows Boko Haram may even be a repayment for the blood wasted during the Civil war. See how Boko haram has further reduced an already poor region and yet people will not learn.

Sarrki, Ngeneukwenu, madridguy and others dont bring a curse on your generation by supporting injustice and the shedding of blood just because of a monthly 30k pay. You can get a more decent job even if it does not pay as much as this at least you will secure the destiny of your unborn children. I am also surprised that with all that is going on no minister has resigned if not in protest at least for conscience sake. This shows Nigerians has been programmed to survive by greed, think only of self and only of NOW. The case would have been different in US.

You mean soldiers went and killed unarmed civilians and you are clapping and supporting because its not your family
You mean you sale your lands in Lagos and the north but the South South/East land is for public once oil is found there
you mean you actually supported the president detaining a man that the court set free. You guys sound too intelligent to be a tyrants puppet
you mean Fulani herdsmen has been killing people and you looked aside. Not even a word to condemn the act and the silence of the govt.
God is watching and he will judge all of you that support evil

see how people are contracting prayer warriors to go to their villages and break some curses brought by their fore fathers. These curses has made the children work like an elephant but eat like ants. Its possible your not having a well paying job is as a result of sins of your fathers. Now you have an opportunity to correct it and build a better foundation for your own children, yet you are on the internet praising hate acts and criticizing hate speech, numbing your conscience and voicing your bias. Its time to reason
Dont say I didnt warn you

Fools.

When we told you that Buhari would cause more problems than solve them you shouted in our faces "Sai Baba''.

Now where is Baba?

The country is on the brink of collapse and destruction because the President had a mindset of division. Now you have seen it.

Since 1999 there have always been Biafrian agitators but the Presidents we've had have not been as divisive and openly divisive as this one.

And by using force and sending the illiterate Army to attack civilians, they pour fuel on fire.

Ok na.

Igbos see una life for outside?

I thought you guys said it's one Nigeria?

Nigeria has never been this insecure

What Happened?



Abeg check my signature jare

At the End the people especially those innocent ones are the victims.


It's funny how Most people keep reacting to the products of the problems but very few people talk about the root cause of the Agitations.

Even though I'm not an IPOB supporter and still believe in the economic, socio-cultural & religious diversity of the country, it is still a Fact that the Nigerian structure as laid down by the Military is highly faulted along regional lines.

The F.G should be meeting & discussing with Agitators in every region, Listen to them, know their demands and finally conclude on a break even point.

All these killings (both past and present) will be in vain If practical steps are not taken to correct the structure of Nigeria.

Even the crude oil that resulted to all these problems in the Genesis will sooner or later be useless, maybe that's when we'd realize that there was an economic need also for Restructuring.

God

odoyo receive sense
The army started all this brouhaha with python dance

Tor

This is what happens when an illiterate president decides to send soldiers to a peaceful state to maintain peace by dancing with pythons

Little wonder when Muslim's say that Islam is a religion of peace, this is the type of peace they mean.

This civil unrest is getting scary o

Buhari is a good leader. He should launch operation alligator dance in plateau state

Tensions everywhere,

Meanwhile, JUDGE: Silence in Court. The next person who
laughs again will be thrown out of Court.
ACCUSED: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
JUDGE: I wasn't talking to you.

This is the time for Christians to rise up and pray for this nation.

its starting, i hope buhari understands what he is doing..
