He issued an official statement through Mr Ehisienmen Osaigbovo, his press secretary in which he urged Nigerians to refrain from making incendiary comments about the Kaduna crisis.

The retired general explained that due to their own personal gain and selfish interests, some people were always looking for ways to further create division along religious or ethnic lines.
