Nigerian Governors have come under attack over their perceived cold attitude towards the endless killings and unrest in the region.

Middle Belt Conscience Guard (MBCG), while calling on governors in Nigeria to wake up and take a decisive action over the spate of killings, kidnappings and criminality, said the “lukewarm attitude” of the governors and stakeholders in the country is becoming worrisome.

The Leadership of Middle Belt Conscience Guard (MBCG) and members gave this charge after an emergency meeting to cross-examine the unending crises in some sections of the country.

It tasked them to commit resources, energy into resolving conflicts and stop globetrotting.

The group, which met at Lafia, the Nasarawa state capital, on Thursday, said it was pained by the unprovoked invasions of our communities by armed assailants in parts of the country , while governors in the areas watch without swinging into action to end the meance.

The group in a communiqué signed at the end of the emergency meeting by Raymond Enero, its president, Paul Itodo, MBCG & chairman, communique drafting committee (CDC), condemned the killings; the untold hardships, dislocations of communal life, the pains, and agonies, now experienced by otherwise peaceful communities and the fate of our people or survivors who are now compelled to go through this undeserved accidental physical and psychological trauma.

They called on the state governors in the country to rise up to the challenge and end the protracted crises, which had claimed many lives and valuables.
