A under the aegis of Plateau Youths Liberation Movement (PYLM) have commended Governor Caleb Mutfwang led administration proactive measures towards addressing insecurity in the state.

The group enjoined all stakeholders in the state to put their heads together and fight common enemy.

This was contained in a press statement signed and make available to newsmen in Jos the state capital on Friday by Joshua Jephta,convener of Plateau Youths Liberation Movement.

According to him, We are indeed saddened by the barbaric, senseless and unprovoked Christmas eve attacks on communities in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas (LGAs) of our dear state.

"Information available to us indicates that over 84 communities were attacked, 195 persons, including women and children killed, 1,300 houses torched, and  properties worth millions equally destroyed.

As we speak, over 100 persons, who sustained various degrees of injuries are currently taking treatments in various hospitals in the state. 

This killings is one too many, Plateau has had its fear share of blood shed and hence we are calling on all stakeholders on the Plateau to unite towards defeating this common enemy.

We want to specifically commend the proactive step taking by Gov. Caleb Mutfwang, towards the safety or lives and property in the state. The governor has demonstrated an uncommon and sterling leadership skills since the killings commenced. 

On good authority, the governor visited Lagos to meet with President Bola Tinubu, who insisted he must meet with the governor in person to get the true picture of the situation. So, those who think the governor went to Lagos for merry making are not just mischief makers, but enemies of the state.

Without mincing words, the governor's visit to Mr President prompted him (President) to send a federal government delegation  to the state, led by Vice President Kashim Shettima. 

We are particularly elated by the consoling words of the vice president, who assured the victims of the attacks that the Federal Government will ensure they get justice and also directed NEMA to provide immediate relief to them.

At this point, we want to appeal to the opposition party and the naysayers, to desist from politicising the current security situation in the state; let us stop playing politics with human lives.

The state government has not only taken proactive steps toward providing succour to the displaced people, but provided funds to cater for medical bills of the over hundred people currently taking treatment at various hospitals within the state.

Yesterday, the governor equally called on the federal government  to provide special support for victims of the attacks to enable them resettle back to their communities.

 He particularly called on National Assembly to include the funds for resettlement of the victims of attacks in the state in the 2024 budget before passing it.

So, we call on all residents of the state to support the governor in his bid toward ensuring that all parts of the state are well secured.
