PDP Criticizes Tinubu's Response to Plateau Killings

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) condemned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's response to the killing of 28 people in Plateau State on March 29, 2026. In a statement issued by Comrade Ini Ememobong, the PDP accused the President of remaining silent for 48 hours following the incident, which sparked widespread public outrage.

They criticized his visit to Plateau State, claiming it was limited to brief engagements at the airport lounge and lacked genuine concern for the victims' families. The PDP described Tinubu's actions as insensitive and inhumane, citing time constraints and security concerns as reasons for not leaving the airport.

They also criticized the federal government's proposal to deploy 5,000 CCTV cameras as an inadequate response to the severe insecurity in Plateau State. The PDP urged the federal government to adopt a comprehensive, community-driven approach to address insecurity and called for greater engagement with local stakeholders.

The President has yet to respond to these criticisms.
