Adamawa State Governor, Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has called on the people of the State to remain calm and go about their normal businesses describing Tuesday nights gunshots in Yola, the Adamawa State capital as unfortunate.
He appealed for accommodation and tolerance among security agencies describing the incident as unacceptable “at this time of peace building.”
While regretting the ugly incident that led to the clash between the Soldiers and the Police, Governor Fintiri disclosed that Government is on top of the situation and appealed to the parties to exercise restraint in the overall peace of the State.
Governor Fintiri urged all security personnel on special assignment to remain at their duty post and conduct themselves with high sense of maturity.
“I am concerned that such acrimony could have lasting consequences on the hard earned peace we have been able to build over the years.”
“I appeal to all security personnel for restraint, mutual respect and tolerance for one another as people destined to work together in this great State. I appeal for patience and understanding as the administration works towards lasting solutions to these conflicts.”
This is contained in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Humwashi Wonosikou.
