The Northern Youth Council of Nigeria has condemned the recent killings of innocent people in Plateau State, urging the federal government to take immediate and decisive action to thwart the crisis.
The council, in a statement released on Tuesday in Kaduna, expressed deep alarm and distress over the tragic pattern of bloodshed that has devastated communities and robbed families of loved ones in Plateau State.
“We call on the federal government to take immediate and decisive action to halt this crisis. It is imperative that the authorities prioritize the safety of citizens by not only condemning these heinous acts but also by ensuring that the perpetrators are swiftly brought to justice,” said Isah Abubakar, National President of the Northern Youth Council of Nigeria.
The Daily Reality reports that, the council’s demand for action comes after President Bola Tinubu’s condemnation of the killings in Plateau State, which claimed the lives of over 40 citizens.
Tinubu urged Governor Caleb Mutfwang to summon the necessary political will to resolve the crisis and establish enduring peace.
The council further reiterated the need for unity and solidarity among northern youths to advocate for peace and demand accountability from those in power.
“We urge Northern Nigeria to unite against these menacing forces that threaten our peace, stability, and future. It is crucial that we come together, regardless of our backgrounds, to stand firm against the evil that seeks to divide and destroy our communities,” the president revealed
