President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the violence which occurred in Gombe state arising from the Billiri chieftaincy tussle, describing it as uncalled for.
This was revealed by Spokesman of the Nigerian president, Garba Sheh saying the PMB was seriously disturbed by the outbreak of violence in Gombe state and call on the parties involved to exercise restraint to avoid escalation.
According to the president,
The easy resort to violence is uncalled for because there are enough avenues to resolve differences amicably without threatening law and order.
Also, he noted that "in a circle of violence, there are no winners, except losers,” advising Muslims and Christians to "avoid the temptation of resorting to violence in order to express their grievances."
PMB said,
Nigerians have shed enough blood over issues that could have been peacefully resolved. I appeal to the two parties to sheathe their swords for the sake of peaceful coexistence. Gombe has enjoyed relative religious harmony for decades and you shouldn't allow hoodlums destroy this positive record.
