Injustice, Nepotism fuel secessionist agitations in Nigeria– Bauchi Gov. Bala Mohammed

The Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed has said that injustices and nepotism were the main causes of secessionist agitations rampant in some parts of the country at the moment.

He revealed this on Monday during a courtesy visit to him by members of the House of Representatives Committee for Zonal Public Hearing on the 1999 Constitution Review, Bauchi centre.

While also stating that the agitations for the creation of state police were occasioned by the need to strengthen overall security and not for settling political scores, he lamented Federal Government neglect of the Nigeria Police, evident by its inadequate provision of logistics and other maintenance needs of the organisation to enable it fully assume its main responsibility of ensuring safety and security for all Nigerians.

Expect shock of your lives, Buhari warns secessionists 

Amid the outbreak of violence and rising calls for secession from agitators in the South, President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, issued a stern warning to those promoting crime and insurrection in the country, saying that his administration will treat them in the language they understand and they will soon receive the shock of their lives.
 
Speaking after he received a briefing from the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Mahmood Yakubu, on series of attacks on facilities of the electoral body around the country, President Buhari said the Federal Government has given the perpetrators enough time and was now ready to act.
 
While noting that those misbehaving in certain parts of the country were obviously too young to know the travails and loss of lives that attended the Nigerian Civil War, he said:

“Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand. We are going to be very hard sooner than later”.
