Shehu Sani, a former lawmaker, has condemned the ongoing violence in Plateau State after recent murders disrupted Palm Sunday festivities.

Sani characterized Plateau in a post on X from Monday as a state that is abundant with natural beauty and resources, yet suffers from recurrent violence.

He pointed out that the state boasts rolling hills, a temperate climate, fertile soil, waterfalls, and mineral deposits, which contribute to its status as one of Nigeria’s most naturally endowed regions.

He regretted, however, that its promise remains eclipsed by violence, notwithstanding these benefits.

Sani called for the violence to stop and urged all parties involved to strive for enduring peace in the state.

He wrote: “Plateau state is gifted with what nature denies other states in the country: It’s breathtaking rolling hills, hospitable ‘temperate’ climates, majestic waterfalls, unmatched fertile soil and rare minerals.

“Plateau is like a Divinely blessed rock of gold and diamonds, cursed with the periodic rituals of unnecessarily shedding and sacrificing the blood of the inhabitants around it.

“Anything on Earth you plant can grow on the plateau except peace. Plateau appeals to the World with it’s dazzling, radiant and captivating beauty but tragically scares the World with its Swords. Let there be peace on the plateau.”
