Tinubu pledges to rebuild violence-ravaged Plateau communities

President Bola Tinubu has pledged to rebuild communities in Plateau State that were destroyed by violence and to facilitate the return of displaced residents. According to Premium Times, the President made this promise on Saturday during an All Progressives Congress rally in Jos, where he acknowledged the impact of recurring attacks on communities across the state since 2001.

Businessman Isaac Fayose criticized the President's visit to the state, accusing him of prioritizing political campaigning over visiting during previous attacks. In a video shared on Facebook, Fayose claimed the President ignored the people when they were in need and suggested the visit showed a preference for votes over lives. This statement has prompted various reactions on social media.
