Group commends Tinubu, Edu’s intervention in Plateau attack

 

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Dr Edu, in a condolence message to the people of Plateau after the attack, said the government would mobilise immediate support for affected communities.

Also, in a statement by Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, on December 28, 2023, the President directed the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation and other relevant agencies to work with the Plateau State Government to deliver immediate humanitarian relief to the affected communities.

PHV president, Comrade Jonah Pam, while commending the timely response of the federal government through the Humanitarian Affairs Minister, said Tinubu’s government has renewed the hope of the people.

“These quick humanitarian interventions mean a lot to the people. A lot is already happening to the displaced people, and we definitely believe that any little support from the government, individuals, and organisations would go a long way towards cushioning the pain.

We believe that no amount of humanitarian intervention can bring back our loved ones, but we also know this is not the first of such attacks in the past.

What we normally get from the government at the centre is a well-crafted and rehearsed press statement condemning the attack.

And it ends there. At least, the coming of Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu as President of Nigeria has shown them how things should be done in this situation.

We also pray that it does not end with providing humanitarian interventions. The security agencies, especially the military, should live above board and get the perpetrators to pay for the heinous crime. It is a genocide against our people, and we would not like it to sleep, as usual,” Comrade Pam said.

The statement also called on International Humanitarian Organisations (IHOs), local organisations, and well-spirited individuals not to leave the welfare and well-being of displaced persons in the aftermath of the killings to the Federal Government alone.
