The Plateau State All Progressives Congress Elders Council has appealed to the Federal government to as matter of urgency redeem the pledge of N10 billion naira made to the State for the rebuilding and resettlement of the IDPs as well as reconciliation processes.
The Elders also appeals to the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and the National Emergency Management Agency to hasten the process of presentation of relief materials to alleviate and ease the suffering of the affected victims and communities.
Addressing a press conference in Jos through the spokesman Arch. Pam Dung Gyang the elders call on Governor Lalong to revisit and dust its transition committee report, so as to identify citizens of Plateau State that were hitherto trained abroad by the last administration on security and intelligence gathering, to be reabsorbed into the Operation Rainbow to complement the recently trained three thousand (3,000) vigilantes.
“We appeal to the Federal Government to as a matter of urgency redeem the pledge of Ten Billion Naira (N10,000,000,000) made to Plateau State for the rebuilding and resettlement of the IDPs as well as reconciliation processes. In the same circumstance, we appeal to the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and the National Emergency Management Agency to hasten the process of presentation of relief materials to alleviate and ease the suffering of the affected victims and communities.”
The elders council also called on the security agencies to present the perpetrators of the heinous acts for immediate prosecution so that justice will be served to all who are affected.
The Plateau APC Elders Council equally condemned the uncultured manner with which the corpses of the dead victims were mishandled adding that it is not in the character of the people of Plateau State to desecrate the body of the dead.
According to them the action of taking corpses victims around town only brought more pains and hurt to the families of the victims; a practice they described as estranged from the culture and tradition of Plateau People.
“We are aware that the Executive Governor of Plateau State recently procured security vehicles and motorcycles to boost the efforts of security personnel in the State as well as the training of 3,000 Vigilantés to give a helping hand to conventional Police for the protection of lives and properties in the State. This is also commendable, and be actualized.’
The Elders sympathizes with the Berom Nation, Irigwe Nation, the families of victims of the Rukuba road sttacks, the Anaguta Nation and all families who lost their loved ones on account of the senseless killings.
“Condemns in totality any form of unwarranted and unprovoked attack and destruction of human lives, farms and cattle while also calling on the security agencies to be up and doing in the protection of the lives and properties of citizens of Plateau State and Nigeria in General.
“Also calls on the people of Plateau to eschew bitterness and embrace peace, dialogue, reconciliation and forgiveness which is divine.”
