He urged residents to learn from examples where communities turned hostilities into opportunities for development, emphasizing the need for dialogue and focus on the collective progress of the region.

Finally, Bichi encouraged Nigerians to refrain from disparaging their leaders, emphasizing the democratic nature of the nation and the potential for achieving positive change through patience and constructive dialogue.
