The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) presidential candidate Mallam Nuhu Ribadu yesterday said injustice was behind the lack of peace in Jos, the capital of Plateau State.
He said his government would unify the country.
The presidential standard bearer spoke at the Polo Field, Jos.
Ribadu was accompanied to Jos by the National Chairman of ACN, Chief Bisi Akande.
He said: “Plateau people are so loving and caring; that was why it is known as a home of peace and tourism.
‘’But love and peace have become a scarce commodity in the state because justice is denied the people.
“Peace and security is not all about bringing soldiers and police to the streets, it is about justice.
‘’When there is justice, there will be peace, love and security.
‘’There is no way you can address security problems without justice.
‘’I want to assure the people that I share in their pains and that is why the peace of Plateau and elsewhere will be my priority.
“As the president of this country, I will be just; we will do the right thing, we will bring justice and, by so doing, restore peace and love in this state”, Ribadu said.
State party Chairman Chief Amos Gizo said: “ACN is an opportunity for Plateau people to effect a change in the affairs of the state and for Nigerians to effect a change in the country.
‘’There is no peace in Plateau State and it is time to change that negative trend.’’
ACN’s governrship candidate Chris Giwa described his emergence as a divine intervention for change.
He urged the electorate to vote for him and kick out the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) out of government.
