Bloodshed Must End: APC Chairman Yilwatda Visits Plateau Attack Victims, Donates N15m
In a country grappling with recurring violence, moments of leadership are increasingly measured not just by words, but by presence and action.
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, has taken that step, visiting victims of the recent Angwan Rukuba attack in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.
During the emotional visit to the Jos University Teaching Hospital, where survivors are receiving treatment, Yilwatda described the attack as “barbaric” and “an assault on our shared humanity,” stressing that Nigeria must move beyond routine condemnations to decisive action.
Accompanied by his wife, Dr Martina Yilwatda, the APC Chairman also announced a donation of N15 million to support victims and other vulnerable patients, easing the burden of medical care and recovery.
He reaffirmed the commitment of the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu to restoring peace and strengthening security across the country, particularly in Plateau State, which has witnessed repeated cycles of violence.
Yilwatda urged political, traditional, and religious leaders, alongside community stakeholders, to unite against division and violence, warning that the continued loss of innocent lives threatens national progress and stability.
He also extended condolences to bereaved families and commended medical personnel at the hospital for their swift response and dedication in saving lives.
As grief lingers in Plateau, the APC Chairman’s visit underscores a growing demand for urgent, coordinated action to halt the bloodshed and restore lasting peace.
