THE Northern Governors Forum (NGF) has warned against politicising the assassination of former Special Adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Political Matters, Ahmed Gulak in Imo State.
Describing Gulak’s death as most unfortunate, Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, said the incident is a criminal act that must be condemned in totality by all and sundry.
Governor Hope Uzodinma had alleged that the murder of the ex-Adamawa House Speaker was a clear case of political assassination.
However, in a statement yesterday, Lalong said, “The killing of Gulak must be seen as a criminal act and treated as such. The forum is however warning against insinuations and politicisation of the killing which could lead to further violence.
“Report by the police that it has identified and engaged the suspected killers of the late Gulak should further be consolidated upon to enable security agencies to forestall future occurrences,” he said.
The governors’ forum also expressed concern over the abduction of innocent citizens across three local government areas of Niger State, including students and teachers of an Islamiyya school.
