The Chairman, Transition Implementation Committee of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Adamawa State, Sadiq Ibrahim Dasin, has appealed to residents of Tsobo and Bachama communities in Lamurde Local Government Area to immediately end the ongoing violence that has led to loss of lives and destruction of property.
In a statement on Wednesday, Dasin said the two communities have for decades lived in peace and shared common cultural ties, inter-marriages and mutual respect, stressing that the recent conflict was “heartbreaking” and against their long-standing history of harmony.
He called on leaders, elders and youth from both sides to embrace dialogue and reconciliation, warning that “no conflict is worth the tears of our mothers and the fear in the eyes of our children.” Dasin also urged security agencies to intensify efforts to protect lives and ensure fairness in handling the crisis, saying peace cannot be achieved where fear continues to grow.
While praying for peace to return to Lamurde, the ADC official appealed to all stakeholders to rebuild trust and work towards restoring unity and stability in the affected communities.
