The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has condemned the attack on the country home of Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma.

A statement issued on Sunday by the NGF Chairman and Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, said the governors described the incident as taking criminality to reckless and irresponsible heights.

According to the governors, those responsible for the attack must be mindful that they do not have the monopoly of violence.

Rather than engaging in criminal acts, the governors believe the mantra for every Nigerian at such a challenging time should be how to forge peace and unity across Nigeria’s divides and to shun violence and wanton destruction.
