Plateau: APM Accuses Tinubu of Neglecting State During Security Crisis
By Our Reporter
The Allied People’s Movement (APM) has urged the people of Plateau State to reject candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, arguing that the state is considered suitable for political campaigns but neglected during emergencies.
The National Publicity Secretary of APM, Abubakar Yusuf, made this known while reacting to President Tinubu’s visit to Plateau State for his 2027 re-election campaign.
According to Yusuf, it is inhuman for the APC and President Tinubu to treat the people of Plateau State with disdain and utter neglect during their critical moments, when several lives were lost, only to consider the state safe enough for a re-election campaign in 2027.
He urged the people of the state to reject not only President Tinubu and the APC at the federal level but also the party’s candidates contesting other positions in the 2027 elections.
“Who is deceiving who, with empty promises of providing CCTV cameras and rejigged security arrangements, yet the crises remain unabated?”
Yusuf appealed to the people of Plateau State to vote massively for Engr. Seyi Makinde of the APM, stating that his visits to internally displaced persons (IDPs) and their families, traditional institutions and religious leaders were clear indications of good leadership.
He urged the people of Plateau State to take their destiny into their own hands, maintaining that the unabated killings were more political than religious, judging by the attitude demonstrated by the government.
He lamented that human lives no longer seem important to leaders, who consider the state suitable for campaign activities aimed at winning public sympathy, and urged the people to learn their lessons this time.
Yusuf maintained that a vote for Engr. Seyi Makinde of the APM would transform the security apparatus in Plateau State and Nigeria, restore lasting peace and usher in development across all sectors.
