The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, has emphasized that the tragedy in Angwan Rukuba must serve as a wake-up call to all leaders, communities, security institutions, and political actors to rise above division and work in unity to confront the forces of violence threatening the peace of Plateau and other parts of the country.
Prof Yilwatda stated this on Saturday, April 4, 2026, when paid a visit to the victims of the recent dastardly attack in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State who are currently receiving treatment at the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH).
He announced a donation of Fifteen million Naira in support of the victims of the attacks as well as other vulnerable patients receiving treatment at the Jos University Teaching Hospital.
The APC National Chairman was accompanied on the visit by his wife, Dr. Martina Yilwatda.
He said that the donation is intended to ease the immediate burden of medical care and provide some measure of relief to those going through physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial hardship as a result of the unfortunate incident.
In a statement, Abimbola Tooki, Special Adviser to the National Chairman of APC on Media and Communications Strategy, said the visit was not only a gesture of sympathy, but also a clear reaffirmation of the resolve of the Federal Government under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to ensure that the lives and properties of Nigerians are protected and that the repeated shedding of innocent blood in Plateau State must come to an end.
Yilwatda described the attack as barbaric, painful, unacceptable, and a direct assault on our common humanity, stressing that the time has come for all stakeholders to move beyond routine condemnation and work deliberately and collectively to prevent any recurrence of such senseless violence.
The APC National Chairman said that the pain of the victims and their families is a burden that must be shared by all men and women of conscience, stressing that no society can make meaningful progress where innocent citizens continue to live in fear and uncertainty.
