While pointing out that everyone had a role to play in supporting any cause that would encourage peaceful coexistence in Nigeria which he said is essential to promoting national peace and unity, Jubrin disclosed that the Northern elders are working together to contribute to efforts targeted at addressing herdsmen activities.
“We are coming to bring an end to it.We are making arrangements for Fulani leaders to come together to address the issue; so that the nation’s unity will be preserved.
“It is very sad to see people in this kind of activities. It is not in the nature of many of us and we are not in support of it”,Jubrin said.
