The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, on Saturday paid a solemn visit to victims of the recent dastardly attack in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau state, who are currently receiving treatment at the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH).
Yilwatda was accompanied on the visit by his wife, Dr. Martina Yilwatda, in a demonstration of compassion, solidarity, and shared commitment to the pain and plight of the victims, their families, and the people of Plateau State at this difficult moment.
In a statement on Sunday, Special Adviser to the National Chairman of APC (Media and Communications Strategy), Abimbola Tooki said the visit was not only a gesture of sympathy but also a clear reaffirmation of the resolve of the Federal Government under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu to ensure that the lives and properties of Nigerians are protected and that the repeated shedding of innocent blood in Plateau state comes to an end.
Speaking during the visit, Prof. Yilwatda described the attack as barbaric, painful, unacceptable, and a direct assault on our common humanity, stressing that the time has come for all stakeholders to move beyond routine condemnation and work deliberately and collectively to prevent any recurrence of such senseless carnage.
He stated that the administration of President Tinubu remains deeply committed to restoring peace, strengthening security operations, and ensuring that all parts of the country, including Plateau state, enjoy the safety and stability necessary for development and peaceful coexistence.
The APC boss assured the victims and their families that the Federal Government is not leaving any stone unturned in its determination to ensure that every Nigerian life is valued, protected, and defended against criminality, violence, and terror.
Yilwatda further emphasized that the violence in Angwan Rukuba must serve as a wake-up call to all leaders, communities, security institutions, and political actors to rise above division and work in unity to confront the forces of violence threatening the peace of Plateau and other parts of the country.
