Plateau: Jang Commends Tinubu, Mutfwang, Says It’s Not Communal Conflict

Former Governor of Plateau and former Senator representing Plateau North Senatorial zone, Da Jonah Jang, has condemned the resurging spate of killings in the State, saying the attacks and killing of over 100 lives within a week is very painful.

Da Jang advised President Tinubu to convene an expanded meeting with community leaders to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the situation in Plateau State as 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.

He asked that a spade be called a spade as the ongoing killings in the State have a more sinister motive than is being acknowledged.

In a statement he issued on Tuesday in Jos, Jang stated, “Let’s call a spade a spade. I offer my deepest condolences to the government and people of Plateau State in the wake of the recent wave of attacks that have claimed numerous innocent lives. These senseless killings have caused pain and suffering for our great State and its people, and we must take immediate action to put an end to this violence.

“I commend Governor Caleb Mutfwang for his tireless efforts to find a lasting solution to this crisis. His dedication to the safety and well-being of Plateau citizens is truly commendable. I also applaud President Bola Tinubu for his determination to stop the senseless killings of innocent citizens. His commitment to protecting the lives of Nigerians, particularly those in Plateau State, is a positive step forward.

“However, I believe it is important to address a misconception in the President’s recent statement directing Governor Mutfwang to resolve the “communal issue.” This suggestion appears 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. Additionally, I advise President Tinubu to convene an expanded meeting with community leaders to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the situation in Plateau State. 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 this problem.”

He urged the people of Plateau State to remain strong and resist any attempts to undermine their existence, saying “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.”

The former Governor extended his condolences to the families of the victims and reaffirmed his commitment to “standing with the people of Plateau State during this difficult time.”
