• Vows to end killings in Plateau

From Romanus Ugwu, Abuja

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, has paid a solemn visit to victims of recent dastardly attack in Angwan Rukuuba, Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.

Yilwatda, who visited the victims at the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) where they are currently receiving treatment, also made a donation of N15 million.

He 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.

The visit, he said, was a gesture of sympathy, and a clear reaffirmation of the resolve of the Federal Government under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu to ensure that the lives and property of Nigerians are protected and that the repeated shedding of innocent blood in Plateau State must come to an end.

Abimbola Tooki, Special Adviser to the National Chairman of APC (Media and Communications Strategy), in a statement in Abuja, noted that Yilwatda, speaking during the visit, described the attack as barbaric, painful, unacceptable, and a direct assault on our common humanity.

He stressed 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 violence.

The statement revealed that Yilwatda shared in the pain of the victims and their families, noting that it is a burden that must be shared by all men and women of conscience.

He warned that no society can make meaningful progress where innocent citizens continue to live in fear and uncertainty.

Yilwatda further noted 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.”

“I want to assure 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,” he said.

The ruling party boss further emphasised that the tragedy 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.

As a practical expression of support and compassion, Yilwatda announced a donation of N15 million to support the victims of the attack as well as other vulnerable patients receiving treatment at the Jos University Teaching Hospital.

“The donation is intended to ease the immediate burden of medical care and provide some measure of relief to those going through physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial hardship as a result of the unfortunate incident,” he noted.

Yilwatda also used the occasion to commiserate with the families of those who lost their lives in the attack, praying for the peaceful repose of the departed and asking God to grant their loved ones the strength and courage to bear the painful and irreparable loss.

He expressed deep appreciation to the management and medical personnel of the Jos University Teaching Hospital for their prompt response, professionalism, and commitment in attending to the victims and saving lives under difficult circumstances.

The National Chairman also paid a condolence visit to the Paramount Ruler of Jos North Local Government Area, the Ujah Anaguta, over the unfortunate attack on residents of Anguwan Rukuba, a community within his domain.

He reiterated that the tragedy in Plateau must not be normalized, politicized, or reduced to another passing news cycle.

Rather, he said, it must provoke renewed urgency, coordinated action, stronger intelligence gathering, deeper community engagement, and sustained security intervention to ensure that communities across the state are protected from further attacks.
