Former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, has condemned the recent attacks on the Gari Ya Waye community in Angwan Rukuba district in Jos and Kahir village in Kagarko Local Government Area of Plateau State.
In a statement issued via his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday, Kwankwaso described the incident as “barbaric” and a tragic reflection of the growing insecurity in the country.
“This senseless bloodshed represents the continuing failure of leadership and the deepening culture of impunity that has turned parts of our country into killing fields,” he said.
He noted that the recurring violence in Plateau State and other parts of Nigeria should no longer be treated as routine, urging authorities to address the situation as a national emergency.
The recurring violence in Plateau State, and indeed across several parts of Nigeria, can no longer be treated as business as usual. It demands to be treated as the national emergency that it has been declared to be by the Federal and State Governments,” Kwankwaso stated.
The former Governor of Kano State stressed that Nigerians deserve to live in peace and security, irrespective of their ethnic or religious backgrounds.
Our people deserve the right to live in peace, security, and dignity, regardless of their ethnicity or faith,” he added.
Kwankwaso also extended his condolences to the victims’ families and the affected community.
“My heartfelt condolences and prayers go to the families of the victims, the injured, and the entire Gari Ya Waye community in this moment of profound grief,” he said.
