Nigeria Governors' Forum Urges Restraint as Plateau Violence Shatters Fragile Peace

Date: 2025-04-16

The Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF) has issued a urgent appeal for calm following fresh outbreaks of violence in Plateau State, which have reportedly resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries.

In a statement on Wednesday, the NGF expressed profound sorrow over the incidents, extending condolences to the Plateau State government, affected communities, and families of victims.

The forum lamented the resurgence of bloodshed in a region that had recently enjoyed sustained peace-a achievement attributed to collaborative efforts between authorities, traditional leaders, and civic stakeholders.

"We call on community and religious leaders to rally behind His Excellency Governor Caleb Mutfwang to douse tension, reconcile minds, and build sustainable peace in Plateau. We call on everyone to understand that the souls already lost are not just numbers; they are the bread winners, hopes, and pride of many families. We call for immediate cessation of violence of any kind against fellow members of the human community," according to the NGF Chairman AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.

"We pray for the repose of the souls of the victims and wish those injured speedy recovery, while everyone embraces dialogue and peace."
