Sometime this week, president Buhari's Senior Special Adviser on media
and publicity, Garba Shehu, was a guest on Channels TV where he fielded
questions on the security situation in southern Kaduna. He said that
contrary to misrepresentation by the mainstream media, the conflict is
not political or religious but a communal conflict with Christians and
Muslims attacking each other. This introduces a new angle to the
narrative.
It will be recalled that the Northern Governors Forum
recently said herdsmen from other countries are responsible for the
attacks. While maintaining that the conflict is more communal than
religious or political, he said the region is the only one in the entire
north west with a PDP senator and this could be a factor.
