A former Ogun State governor, Olusegun Osoba, has described the recent intercommunal clashes in the country as part of the problems President Bola Tinubu inherited from the previous administration.

Osoba stated this in an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday.

The former governor’s comment comes on the heels of the recent attacks by insurgents in Plateau State.

Recall that the attacks have so far claimed over 200 lives, with hundreds of houses and farmlands burnt.

Speaking on the Plateau killings, Osoba noted that there is a need for a broad-based policy to address the challenge of inter-communal crises facing Nigeria.

He said, “There’s no Nigerian who won’t cry for what happened in Plateau. We need to have a well-organised, broad-based policy to contain the inter-communal crisis bedevilling us in the country.

“Before making an appearance, he must be ready to tell them some of the major steps and actions he’s going to take to contain these things that have been going on, particularly in the middlebelt.

“For many years in Benue, there were a series of killings. Issues such as religion, land, and others were some of the major problems that President Bola Tinubu inherited,” said Osoba.
