Gov. Jonah Jang of Plateau, on Friday, said Nigeria had been at war with unknown enemies and urged good sense people will rise to defend the country.
Jang made the comment when he the scenes of the twin bomb blasts in Jos visited Tuesday after cutting short his medical trip abroad.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that 78 persons were confirmed dead and several others received treatments for injuries.
"This is a different kind of war of the wars that we all know; These are enemies that are unknown.
"And these are the worst enemies you can fight because you don't know where they come from, you don't know where and how to tackle until suddenly you surprise are taken as it is now, '' he said.
The Governor felt that most of the perpetrators of the odious crimes were non-Nigerians, to kill Nigerians in the service of evil people in Nigeria.
"These people are is sponsored, they come to one place. They don't stay on the trees, but with people.
"We are made to understand that they are not in these bombs as bombs, but they bring them as materials and merge in one of our homes.
"Why is it difficult for people to report such cases? '' he asked.
The Governor said some of the activities of the terrorists could be checked if Nigerians were more safety-conscious.
"We should be suspicious of everything not just cars, one must be suspicious of everything and we should always call the Security numbers given to the public by security services report complaints '', he added.
Jang also advised politicians to stop using the emergency like the one Nigeria itself to cheap political advantage.
On the kidnapped girls Chibok, Jang said, "we are all sad about the disappearance of these girls and the Federal Government is working seriously with the international community to find where they are.
"They want the President to Chibok, go the bush to search for the girls themselves? ''
According to him, some of those marching in the streets against the Government those who had held positions of the Government and could not perform.
Jang told politicians to help the Government through their connections to peace Institute solutions instead of President into disrepute.
"This is our nation, we do not have any other nation to, Africa is looking for us, we are the largest black population and we pretend we don't know who we are.
"We are all Nigerians, when the time comes, we should play politics from politics, but as the time for emergency cases such as this, we should be honest and do ' square ', he said.
He said the State Government would clear the busy Terminus market where the bombs exploded to prevent a recurrence of such incident. (NAN)
