Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has assured the people and government of Plateau State of the Senate’s readiness to bring an end to the killings in the state.
Akpabio said the Senate under his leadership would collaborate with other relevant government and security agencies to accomplish the task.
The Senate President, who spoke on Friday at the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) Headquarters in Jos during the funeral service of Prof. Janet Plang, the wife of the senator representing Plateau Central in the 10th National Assembly, Senator Diket Plang, used the occasion to reiterate the Senate’s commitment to work with relevant agencies to end the violence in the state.
While responding to the plea of the State Governor, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, for an urgent response from the Federal Government to the continued killing of innocent indigenes by terrorists, Akpabio said: “As the President of the 10th Senate, I hear you loud and clear; and be rest assured that your travails will be given the needed attention and response from the relevant agencies. And the Egyptians you see today, you shall see them no more.
“Let me, on behalf of my distinguished colleagues, condole with your government and the people of Plateau State on this needless and unwarranted loss of lives. I assure you that your message will be delivered to President Bola Tinubu, and something will be done very urgently to protect the lives and property of the people living in this state”.
He also donated the sum of ₦50 million to the church.
In his condolence message, the Senate President described the late Professor Plang as a “quintessential woman and mother, who loved humanity and did all within her powers to inculcate the same in the lives of our children.
