President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has postponed his planned trip to Iperu in Ogun State, choosing instead to travel to Jos, the Plateau State capital, in a show of solidarity with communities recently affected by violence.
The President said his immediate priority is to stand with the people of Plateau in their moment of grief, as families continue to mourn the loss of loved ones. His visit to Jos is aimed at commiserating with victims, offering federal support, and reassuring residents that the government remains committed to restoring peace and stability in the region.
Tinubu emphasized that those responsible for spreading fear and violence will not succeed, pledging that security efforts will be intensified to protect lives and property. He also reaffirmed his administration’s determination to ensure that justice is served, noting that the safety of citizens remains a top priority.
The visit is expected to send a strong signal of federal presence and concern, as tensions have persisted in parts of Plateau. Community leaders and stakeholders are likely to engage with the President during his stay, as part of broader efforts to address the underlying causes of the crisis and chart a path toward lasting peace.
His decision to prioritize Plateau underscores the importance of unity in difficult times, with the President urging Nigerians to stand together in grief while remaining committed to building a stronger and more secure nation.
Following his engagement in Jos, Tinubu will continue with previously scheduled activities, including observance of Good Friday in Lagos and official engagements across Ogun, Lagos, and Bayelsa states, focusing on infrastructure development, trade expansion, and economic growth.
