The President was in Jos, Plateau State capital, on Thursday evening to condole with the state government and residents of the state following the killings.
He vowed to end the cycle of killings in Plateau State, announcing a sweeping security response that includes the deployment of a 5,000-camera surveillance network across Jos.
“This experience will not repeat itself,” Tinubu said, stressing that his administration is determined to restore lasting peace to the state.
Addressing community leaders and victims at the Yakubu Gowon airport, the President expressed deep sympathy, noting that while no amount of money could compensate for the loss of lives, government would take concrete steps to deliver justice and provide relief.
“There is nothing I can give you, that can replace the lives lost,” he said.
“But we will do everything possible to ensure that such tragedy does not happen again,” he added.
Tinubu emphasised that leadership must be anchored on peace and prosperity, not grief and division.
“We were elected on the promise of peace and prosperity, not to create widows and widowers, but to build a future of hope for all,” he stated.
