The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, donated N15 million to victims of the Angwan Rukuba attack in Plateau State. The victims are receiving treatment at Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), where Yilwatda visited them personally. The donation was made to support medical care and recovery for those injured in the attack. No official statement was issued on the circumstances of the attack or the number of victims.
A party chairman spending party funds on emergency relief exposes the vacuum where state intervention should be. When political figures become first responders, it signals a deeper failure in public security and welfare systems. Nigerians affected by violence deserve institutional support, not charity from politicians. This act, while noted, should not substitute government responsibility.
