The Presidency has said that the death of Mrs FUNKE OLAKUNRIN, the daughter of Afenifere factional leader, Pa REUBEN FASORANTI, is tragic and regrettable, but politicising it will not help the unity of the country.

In a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, GARBA SHEHU, the Presidency expressed reservations over comments being made by some Nigerian leaders over the incident, saying that the issue was being politicised.

Recall that Former President OLUSEGUN OBASANJO wrote an open letter to President BUHARI, where he warned that Nigeria is tipping towards a dangerous cliff and only the president could forestall such a looming disaster.

He also said the security situation in the country could lead to “spontaneous or planned reprisal attacks against the Fulani, which may mushroom into a pogrom or Rwanda-type genocide.
