He was also esteemed as the Grand Patron of the group at the event held in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.

Mr. Mohammed stated that Buhari has also set up a board of inquiry into the recent attacks while the effects of the silent efforts would soon be felt by Nigerians.

“The president did speak immediately these things happened, to the extent of setting up a panel of inquiry. But the government is going to do more than that,” he said.

“These communal clashes are very delicate issues, very emotional and what the government is doing is working very silently to ensure that people who used to live together before without any conflict will go back to that. In few weeks from now, we will begin to see the result of that.”

The information minister has also assured that the plan by the government to generate 10,000 megawatts of electricity by 2019 is very possible.

He said: “It is very feasible, you see actually the capacity to generate, we don’t have any problems at all. Actually by February 2nd this year, we were able to generate and transmit 5, 074 megawatts of power. But we are in this situation today mainly because of the attacks on the export lines.

“What we have now is that we have the capacity to generate but we don’t have enough gas. And as soon as these platforms are repaired, we will be able to generate and transmit more than 5, 000 megawatts, even at 10, 000 megawatts at 2019, its quite feasible.”

The clashes between Fulani herdsmen and farmers from their host communities have been occurred in several states comprising Benue, Plateau, and Taraba.

Nigerians criticise President Buhari for his handling of the crises which have caused the death of hundreds of people.
