Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Kefiano Foundation, Chief Kefas Wungak Ropshik, has raised the alarm calling on Plateau people to team up and fight the common enemy because security operatives have failed in protecting the lives of the people. https://sundiatapost.com/plateau-attack-tension-as-terrorists-sent-letter-to-community-threatening-fresh-attacks/
He made the call recently, in an interview with Journalists on the occasion of his birthday, held in Jos, the Plateau State capital.
He also used the occasion to distribute food items worth millions of Naira to over six hundred (600) widows, orphans and Persons With Disabilities (PWD).
The Wungak said, “it is a very sad moment and quite unfortunate that this is happening to Plateau State. But, of course, we will always call on the government to do the needful especially, we the Plateau people. It is getting to a time when we cannot fold our arms and wait for the government.
“We must think outside the box on how our people can be protected, and this goes directly to the State government. We must build our internal security to protect us. https://sundiatapost.com/plateau-attacks-even-countries-at-war-not-experiencing-level-of-killings-in-nigeria-peter-obi-laments/
“Katsina State, today, trained people and armed them with AK 47. I think it is getting to the stage.
“They are killing our people like animals and we cannot fold our arms and be waiting for security because security has failed us. We cannot imagine these people coming to kill people the first day, come back the second day and the third day. It means they are within the vicinity”, he said.
He said however, that sharing security numbers to the public was not enough because the time of their response to distressed calls was one big question and one major challenge the people were struggling with, hence the need for people to protect themselves.
We must learn to unite and speak one voice and not for political gains. I seriously frown at it and that is the truth. We are tired of waiting for the government. I am a victim of this carnage because I have adopted 20 children whose parents were slaughtered in their presence. How long are we going to continue in this?
He said if the government in power today is APC, PDP or Labour Party, it’s high time everybody came to support the government.
“Government too should learn how to involve every stakeholder regardless of political party so that they will contribute to the security and success of Plateau State”.
He said this is not time for politicking, it is time for governance so all should be invited to contribute what he or she thinks would bring solution to the lingering killings.
