The Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) Plateau state has condemn in totality the killing of
innocent people at Lopamdyet area close to Guratopp in Rayfield yesterday night
by unknown gun men. In a press statement signed by the state Publicity
Secretary of the party Sir J T Akans and a copy made available to African Drum, the party decried the
continues killings of innocent Plateau people adding that the ugly incidents have
been going on even with the security check points everywhere within and outside
the state capital.
According to
the statement, “this has become clear that the government has abandoned its
responsibility of protecting its citizens. What is the primary responsibility
of government if not to protect people’s lives and properties?”
According to
the party, while killings are going on in the state, tertiary institutions have
embarked on strike as a result of failure of government policies while governor
Lalong was busy wasting the state resources on a foreign trip which the party
believed have no direct benefit to the people.
The
statement continued, “It is unfortunate and embarrassing that Governor Lalong
went on lobbying the Presidency to be part of Mr President's visit to China,
Most disheartening is the fact that when his request was turned down, out of
desperation and lack of priority, he on his own traveled to meet with Mr
President in China, leaving his people in a traumatized condition.
"The Peoples
Democratic Party is saddened by this trend of ugly events going on in some
parts of the state, particularly Northern and Central Senatorial Zones.
Our prayers
and thoughts are with the first families the deceased and injured, indeed, the
people of Plateau State”.
