Goodluck Jonathan Tackles Presidency, Reveals What He Did During Fulani Vs Farmers Attack
According to NAIJ, Jonathan also sent his condolences to the government and people of Benue, Kaduna, Taraba, Adamawa and Nasarawa states over the recent killings occasioned by herdsmen/farmers clashes.
A statement on his social media wall says the former president’s heart bleeds for the sufferings of Nigerians and he calls on the authorities to do everything in their power to put an end to what he calls needless killings.
The statement described as mischievous the statement credited to the presidency that 756 Nigerians were killed by herdsmen in two years under the government of former President Jonathan.
“For the avoidance of doubt, let it be known that the figure of 756 is wrong. But the issue is not that it is a false figure, the issue is that former President Jonathan was not inactive in the face of herdsmen killings during his presidency.
“While in office, the former president knew that the capacity of the Nigerian police would be challenged by the sophistication of arms available to the herdsmen and so after he was elected president and sworn in on May 29, 2011, former President Jonathan summoned a national security council meeting and ordered that herdsmen attack must be decisively dealt with.
