Atiku condemned the non-ending bloodletting in Plateau. He sympathising with the families of the victims in a Facebook post yesterday.
He said Plateau is Nigeria’s pride and shouldn’t be a theatre of blood-letting.
According to the former presidential of the PDP:
“The recurring attacks on Jos stand condemned. The Plateau has been a pride of the country and should not be a theatre of blood-letting.
“This recent attack on the city of Jos, like all others before it and everywhere else, is an affront to our national security.
“We must do our all to protect the Plateau, its people and its heritage of hospitality. I mourn the victims of this new attack and sympathise with their loved ones.”
