Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum and Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, has accused politicians of fueling crisis in his state.

He disclosed this at Day Two of the Nigerian Economic Summit where participants had gathered to deliberate on the nation’s security, education and politics.

According to Lalong, the governors of the 19 northern states are in full support of the creation of state police to tackle the numerous security challenges facing their domain.

He noted that Plateau has long been known as a state of peace and tourism before some political actors started creating problems in the state.

The governor also faulted successive administrations in the state for capitalizing on the situation, rather than finding means to bridge the gap.
