Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation, has called on Nigerians to unite and stand against the foreign elements that are bent on destabilising the country and killing innocent citizens, especially in Zamfara State.
The Director of Press to Zamfara Governor, Jamilu Illiyasu, made this known in a statement he issued to newsmen in Gusau on Monday.
Fani-Kayode expressed the belief that some people were using the state and the entire North-West zone as a killing field to prove to the world that Nigeria was ungovernable, divided and that things were not right in the country.
He also commiserated with the Zamfara State Government over the killing of 58 citizens in Anka and Bukkuyum local government areas of the state.
Fani-Kayode described the killing as a tragedy of monumental proportion and commended the efforts of Gov. Bello Matawalle in the ongoing fight against banditry and other crimes in the state.
He, therefore, called on all Nigerians to unite to fight foreigners who claimed to be Nigerians but could only speak Arabic and French.
He also urged the Federal Government to fish out sponsors of banditry and other individuals inflating casualty figures.
