A former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Ghali Umar Na’Abba on Sunday faulted the Federal Government’s handling of the incessant killings across the country. 

Speaking at the graduation ceremony of Pace Setters Academy, Wuye, Abuja, Na’Abba expressed regret over the killings, stressing that the government’s approach to the crisis had not been helpful as President Muhammadu Buhari was working alone.

He further noted that the handling of the incessant killings by the Presidency had not in any way led to the enthronement of peace in any of the troubled areas, which he said had not been engaged in any form of dialogue.

His words: “The issue of killing has not been properly handled. A long time ago, communities would have been engaged more properly by the administration but I don’t think that they have been engaged. 

“These conflicts have been on before this administration came to power but we thought that they would have been well prepared to curb the situation before coming into power but it doesn’t seem they were. 

“I feel the administration would have been prepared enough to meet with the communities where the killings are taking place with a view to engaging them in a continuous basis. It is not happening.”
