The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu, has clarified his position on the two-day Conflict Resolution Summit, which ended last Tuesday in Abuja.
A statement from Tinubu’s media office Wednesday cautioned one of the Yoruba leaders, Yinka Odumakin, against his utterances over Tinubu’s position, stating that Odumakin misunderstood the whole concept of the party leader’s position concerning the conflict resolution summit.
The statement read: “The only deserving response to Odumakin is that he needs a cure for his seeming selective comprehension.
“The range of short and long term options for an enduring peace in the incessant clashes between herders and farmers offered by Tinubu were suggestions for the consideration of the two-day Conflict Resolution Summit.
According to the statement, “It is not only some states in the South-west region that are affected but several states across the country. Why Odumakin has suddenly got hot under the collar may not be far-fetched. The usual frenzy and self-righteous mentality he portrays is on full display. Perhaps next time, he should read through the whole submission and caution himself from self-righteousness and displaying in full glare anarchical emotions.
Tinubu then added that government, in the short-term, must maintain reasonable and effective military and law enforcement presence in the affected areas, ThisDay writes.
