Plateau killings: Convene stakeholders meeting, ex-Gov Jang tells Tinubu

Former Governor of Plateau State, Senator Jonah Jang, has implored President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to convene an expanded meeting with community leaders in Plateau State to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the situation in the state.

Senator Jang said such a meeting would provide a platform for stakeholders to share their insights and experiences, enabling the President to develop a more informed approach to tackling the problem.

In a statement, Senator Jang, who said it is imperative to address a misconception in the President’s recent statement directing Governor Mutfwang to resolve the “communal issue,” added that the suggestion appeared to stem from inaccurate briefings by his advisers.

“The attacks in Plateau State are not merely communal disputes; they are perpetrated by a known group with a specific agenda. It is crucial for the President to understand the true nature of these attacks in order to address them effectively.

“I urge the people of Plateau State to remain strong and resist any attempts to undermine their existence. As peace-loving and welcoming citizens, we have endured enough. It is time for us to defend ourselves against these aggressors and demand justice. I call upon the people of Plateau State to stay united, vigilant and proactive in the face of these attacks.”

He commended Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang for his tireless efforts to find a lasting solution to the crisis, adding that his dedication to the safety and well-being of Plateau citizens is truly commendable.

The former Governor equally applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his determination to stop the senseless killings of innocent citizens, adding that his commitment to protecting the lives of Nigerians, particularly in Plateau State, is a positive step forward.
