A lot is already happening to the displaced people already and we definitely believe that any little support from government, individuals and organisations would go a long way to cushion their pains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that no amount of humanitarian interventions can bring back our loved ones; but we also know this is not the first of such attacks in the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we normally get from the government at the centre is a well crafted and rehearsed press statement, condemning the attack. And it ends there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt least, the coming of Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu as President of Nigeria has shown them how things should be done in this situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also pray that it does not end in providing humanitarian interventions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe security agencies, especially the military, should live above board and get the perpetrators to pay for the heinous crime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a genocide against our people and we would not like it to sleep, as usual\u201d, Comrade Pam said.<\/p>\n<p>The statement also called on international humanitarian organisations, local organisations and well spirited individuals not to leave the welfare and wellbeing of displaced persons in the aftermath of the killings to the Federal Government alone.<\/p>\n<p>Plateau killings: Indigenes laud Tinubu govt\u2019s intervention<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indigenes of Plateau State have commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10244,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1639,15,7754,466],"tags":[580,3095,180,316,26],"class_list":["post-10243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health","category-news","category-plateau-killings","category-tinubu","tag-health","tag-killings","tag-news","tag-plateau","tag-tinubu"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
