BREAKING: Northern governors condemn Gulak killing

The Northern Governors’ Forum has described the assassination of former Special Adviser to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan on Political Matters, Ahmed Gulak, as most unfortunate and totally condemnable.

While reacting to the situation in a statement on Monday, Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Bako Lalong, described it as a criminal act that must be condemned in totality.

“The killing of Gulak must be seen as a criminal act and treated as such, warning against insinuations and politicization that could lead to further violence.”

He said the report by the police that it has identified and engaged the suspected killers of the late politician should further be consolidated to enable security agencies to forestall future occurrences.

In other news, President Muhammadu Buhari expressed outrage and disgust over what he called “the heinous murder of the “ Adamawa politician Ahmed Gulak in Owerri by yet to be identified gunmen.

The President reacted on Sunday in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu.

“I am repulsed by such premeditated and gruesome murder of Gulak by evil people who are determined to undermine the peace, unity, and territorial integrity of our country.

Moreso, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, has described Ahmed Gulak’s death as one too many. He then urged the security agencies to bring to book those behind his untimely death.

According to Anyim, losing Gulak like other innocent Nigerians to unknown assailants is the darkest point in the senseless and mindless violence growing in the country and South-East.
