Plateau attack, another shameful chapter in Nigeria’s history – Kwankwaso
A chieftain of the opposition Africa Democratic Congress (ADC), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has expressed sadness over Sunday night attack in Jos, Plateau State, describing is as another sad chapter in Nigeria’s history.
In a condolence message to families of the affected victims, the former presidential candidate of the News Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), said the senseless bloodshed across parts of the country must be treated as a national emergency.
“The barbaric attack on the Gari Ya Waye community in Angwan Rukuba, Jos, which claimed the lives of no fewer than 27 Nigerians and left many others injured, is yet another tragic and shameful chapter in our nation’s history.
“This senseless bloodshed represents the continuing failure of leadership and the deepening culture of impunity that has turned parts of our country into killing fields.
“The recurring violence in Plateau State, and indeed across several parts of Nigeria, can no longer be treated as business as usual. It demands to be treated as the national emergency that it was declared to be by the Federal and State Governments.
“Our people deserve the right to live in peace, security, and dignity, regardless of their ethnicity or faith.
“My heartfelt condolences and prayers go to the families of the victims, the injured, and the entire Gari Ya Waye community in this moment of profound grief,” Kwankwaso stated.
