The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, has donated 15 million naira to survivors of the recent attack in Angwan Rukuba, located in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State. He made the donation during a visit to the Jos University Teaching Hospital, where some of the injured were receiving treatment.
Yilwatda met with victims and their families, expressing the party's solidarity and condemning the violence that led to the deaths of several people. He described the attack as "heart-wrenching" and reaffirmed the APC's commitment to restoring peace in Plateau State. The chairman also called on security agencies to intensify efforts to apprehend those responsible and prevent future attacks. His visit coincided with growing public concern over recurring violence in the region, particularly in communities around Jos.
Yilwatda stated that the APC would continue to support affected communities and work with relevant authorities to address the root causes of the conflict. Further actions from the party are expected in the coming weeks, including possible engagements with traditional and religious leaders in the state.
When Yilwatda pledges party funds and vows to end killings, it signals that the APC now treats Plateau's security crisis as a political liability, not just a humanitarian one. The 15 million naira donation is symbolic, but his presence at the hospital underscores a need to reclaim public trust in a region long plagued by violence. This is less about charity and more about political survival ahead of future elections.
