Plateau residents are facing a dire situation due to insecurity, with a recent gunfire exchange in Wanka community resulting in the loss of over 20 soldiers and vigilantes. The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Nentawe Yilwatda, has called on the residents to unite against this threat and participate in strengthening security measures.
Yilwatda recently visited the Palace of the Emir of Kanam, Alh. Muhammadu Mu'azu Muhammadu, to condole with the affected families and the entire emirate. He expressed his deepest sympathies to the victims' families and the community, offering his support to those directly impacted.
The APC Chairman noted that the people of Kanam have demonstrated unwavering courage and resilience in the face of adversity. He urged everyone to renew their commitment to fostering peace, strengthening security, and building a future where communities can thrive without fear.
The recent attack serves as a stark reminder of the need for collective action to address the insecurity plaguing Plateau state.
Nentawe Yilwatda's call to action is a welcome development, but it is the APC leadership that must now take concrete steps to address the insecurity in Plateau state. The recent attack on Wanka community is a testament to the failure of existing security measures. Nigerians expect more than just words from their leaders, especially when lives are lost. The APC must work with the Plateau state government to implement effective security strategies that prioritize the safety of residents. The people of Kanam deserve better, and it is time for the APC to deliver.
