Don’t trust Buhari with your security, Sen Jang tells Plateau youths

A presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Jonah Jang, has advised youths in Plateau State not to trust President Muhammadu Buhari with their security.

Jang, a former governor of Plateau State and senator representing Plateau North in the National Assembly, stated this while condemning the invasion of Rukuba Road, Jos North Plateau State, by bandits.

The former governor insisted that President Buhari and Governor Simon Lalong should “resign with immediate effect having displayed unfathomable insensitivity and cluelessness in the aspects of security and value for human life.”

According to him, the youths of Plateau State should defend themselves within the perimeters of the law, adding that it was dangerous to trust Buhari with their security, adding that the attack has revealed “the very short life expectation of our people who are no longer safe wherever they are in our towns, villages, and city.”

The Senator made his feelings known in a statement by his media consultant, Clinton Garuba on Saturday.

He said: “This recent surge of mindless killings in Plateau State is a damning appraisal to the Federal Government under President Muhammadu Buhari and the Governor of Plateau State.

“Under the present administration, hardly a day passes without news of people getting killed by herdsmen or unknown gunmen with ancestral lands forcefully occupied and people rendered homeless and internally displaced on their own land.

“Jang hereby calls on the United Nations to intervene in Nigeria and act on behalf of the poor, innocent, and abandoned people of Plateau State and their endangered kinds in the Middle Belt, to protect and guarantee them a future of longevity, pride, and prosperity.”
