PDP Governors Forum Condoles, Support Plateau, Contributes N100M to Victims of Christmas Eve Attacks

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum has expressed condolences and offered support to Plateau State in the aftermath of the violent attacks in the wake of the Christmas eve in Bokkos, Mangu, and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas.

As a gesture of empathy with the State, the governors contributed N100 million to demonstrate their solidarity and commitment to aiding the survivors of the tragic incidents.

Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, as the Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Bauchi State, led the delegation and emphasized the importance of addressing security challenges through the establishment of State Police. His call for state-specific security measures and the plea to the Federal Government and security agencies to intensify efforts reflect a concern for the overall security situation in the country.

“We, representing the PDP Governors Forum, extend our heartfelt condolences to you and the people of Plateau. The crisis is unfortunate, and we urge you to remain focused amidst these challenges,” Sen. Mohammed remarked.

Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State, in response, appreciated the support and highlighted the significance of unity across faith and ethnicity in combating criminal activities. His commitment to rebuilding trust among communities and treating criminality uniformly is crucial for effective security measures.

Mutfwang said, “As governor, I believe in the unity of our people. If we rebuild trust and treat criminality uniformly, we can overcome these challenges.”

The presence of other PDP Governors in the delegation, including Senator Nurudeen Jackson Ademola Adeleke (Osun State), Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintirin (Adamawa), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Governor Godwin Obaseki (Edo), Mr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah (Enugu), and the Director General of the PDP Forum, Hon CID Maduabum, LL.M, underscores the collective concern and commitment of the PDP towards addressing security challenges and fostering unity in Nigeria.
