Thanks Gambo Dori for the wonderful piece on the above mentioned subject. His Royal Highness, the Emir of Muri, said it all. Nigerian security and political leaders are responsible for the failure to find lasting solution to the lingering ethnic & communaVl conflicts across the Northern part of the country in particular and the entire country as a whole.
