The meeting took place after the visiting governors and APC National Chairman had attended the achievements presentation ceremony of the Imo State governor, Owelle Okorocha. The governors, Chief Oyegun and Ohaneze leaders condemned the disturbing issues of the alleged killing of the Igbo woman in Kano, the herdsmen menace and the need to see those behind these unlawful acts as criminals and common enemies of the nation.
In his speech at the meeting, Governor el-Rufai said that the governors from the northern part of the country condemned totally the murder of the Igbo woman in Kano, and that the matter should be treated as a case of murder while those responsible must be brought to face the wrath of the law.
He said, “We will not accept a situation where people either Christians or Muslims hide under the umbrella of religion to commit crime. If someone had insulted God, the person should be left for God to take care of. I have advised the Kano governor to publicly deal with the people involved to serve as a deterrent to others.”
