Expressing profound concern over the persistent cycle of violence, Governor Mutfwang urged influential leaders to unite in addressing the root causes and proposing effective solutions.

During a discussion with the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, the governor emphasized the need for urgent action. Dogara led a delegation of current and former House members on a condolence visit to Governor Mutfwang in Jos after the tragic massacre of over 200 people in Bokkos and Barkin Ladi local government areas.

Governor Mutfwang expressed, “It is unfortunate that this cycle has continued for years. We are praying that, as a nation, we will get it right so that we toe the path of justice and don’t allow people to slip into self-help because once we allow the people to go into self-help, we will become another Somalia.”

He acknowledged a desire for change with the current president and emphasized the need for a collective effort of critical leaders to understand and address the root causes of the problems and provide solutions.

Governor Mutfwang also raised questions about the financial backing of the insecurity, urging an investigation into the financiers and the sources of hundreds of AK-47 rifles.

Reaffirming his commitment to collaborate with the Federal Government, the governor thanked the former Speaker for consistently supporting Plateau State and encouraged ongoing advocacy for the people’s interests.
