“This is a matter that requires caution,” the Deputy Speaker, Emeka Ihedioha, who presided over yesterday plenary, cautioned after a motion on the Jos crisis was brought before the House Representative by Hon. Simon Davou Mwadkwon.
Following consultation with principal officers, Ihedioha said the House’s leadership was not comfortable allowing debates on the crisis that had pitted, principally, the Berom ethnic group with the Hausa/Fulani population in deadly attacks and reprisals over contentious ethnic and ‘indigenship’ status of the latter in the state.
“It is not the wish of the leadership to allow the House to debate the matter. We have taken note and appropriate action will be taken on it,” Ihedioha ruled on the motion.
Representatives however okayed five resolutions contained in the motion.
The resolutions include a condemnation of the barbaric killing of Innocent people and the burning down of villages and destruction of crops on farmlands and appeal to President Goodluck Jonathan to re-appraise the security challenges in Plateau State by granting the state governor more powers and resources to enable the governor, Jonah Jang, fully take charge of the security of lives and properties with the state.
