Former governorship candidate on the Labour Party (LP) platform in Plateau State, Yohana Yilpwan Margif, has accused Governor Caleb Mutfwang of remaining silent as terrorists and bandits continue to invade several communities and take over their lands.
Naija News reports that Margif, who is the Waziri Mushere in Bokkos Local Government Area of the state, made the comments in a statement on Sunday, noting that Mutfwang’s unkept assurances to the grieving communities may have emboldened the attackers.
The LP chieftain also alleged that there are plots by criminal herders to kill Mushere people and take over their lands.
Margif lamented the killings and raids on villages across Plateau, stressing that they are no longer random but a carefully executed strategy to seize ancestral farmlands.
According to him, the well-armed Fulani herdsmen are working with precision and deadly intent to capture at least 40 per cent of Plateau’s farming lands, exploiting their superior weapons to overwhelm the unarmed and defenceless communities that have been left to their fate by government inaction.
He further warned and called on every Plateau citizen to rise from their slumber, shun complacency, and confront the existential threat.
He added, “It breaks my heart that Governor Caleb Mutfwang has yet to fulfil promises made to grieving communities during his visits.
“Today, the herders have declared an open war, and Mushere Chiefdom, my people are now their direct target. This is no time for silence.
“We must unite and demand urgent action from leaders who appear to have forgotten their sacred duty of protecting lives and property.”
