Attacks on Plateau communities after I left office worrisome: Ex-Gov. Lalong
The immediate past governor of Plateau, Simon Lalong, has described as worrisome the incessant attacks on Plateau communities after his exit from office.
”I left office as governor of Plateau only a few weeks back, but the current happenings in the state are worrisome,” Mr Lalong said at a dinner organised by former students of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria.
He called on Nigerians to pray for the state to overcome security challenges.
Mr Lalong, who decried the wanton killings and destruction of properties in the state, said there was a need for Nigerians to collectively pray for the return of total peace in the state.
“I have always been on my knees praying that when I leave office, Plateau should be better than where I left it.
“I will continue to pray, and this is why I am calling on all Nigerians to support Plateau people with prayers,” Mr Lalong urged.
