Senate President Godswill Akpabio urged on Monday that the fatalities in Plateau State must be diminished and curtailed.
Akpabio stated that, following Governor Caleb Muftwang of Plateau State’s decision to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), addressing insecurity is imperative.
He revealed this during the formal reception of Muftwang into the APC in Jos, the state capital.
Akpabio stated, “I am aware that with you, a pastor, when the righteous governs, the populace must rejoice.” The citizens of Plateau must celebrate your governance, which could not have been achieved just via opposition.
“That is why during my previous visit, you responded softly, stating, your Excellency, the Senate President, that you were contemplating the most effective means to safeguard your constituents, and that such a task could not be accomplished while in opposition.”
I aspire to join the center to re-establish a connection between Plateau State and its people, thereby delivering greater benefits of democracy to them. Your prayers have been answered.
“We are witnesses to this event, affirming that through your efforts, positive developments will arise in the Plateau, and that violence must be curtailed and diminished.”
“Ultimately, peace must be restored to the plateau, and with our presence here today, we shall cross our feet and beseech Almighty God that the malevolence we witnessed yesterday, and any we may encounter today, will soon be eradicated.”
“May every individual who causes you distress in the Plateau not witness the conclusion of this year, in Jesus’ name.”
