President Bola Ahmed Tinubu undertook a condolence visit to Plateau State on Thursday, April 2nd, to express sympathy to the government and its people following a devastating attack that occurred the previous Sunday.
The assailants targeted the Angwan Rukuba community in Jos on Palm Sunday, March 29th, resulting in the deaths of more than 40 individuals.
During his visit, President Tinubu strongly condemned the violence. He offered particular commiseration to Ms. Rhoda, a mother who became widely known through a viral video where she was seen holding her son, Ayuba, who had been killed in the attack.
Addressing Ms. Rhoda, the President acknowledged her profound grief and offered prayers for divine comfort, stating, "I pray that this experience will not repeat itself again. Favour Rhoda, I know the pain. I saw how on the video you held on to Ayuba and the pain and agony in your heart. It is only God, only God who can give you joy and comfort. No amount of money can pay all of you back. Yes, as God we will try our best to comfort and work with you."
A video recording of the President's remarks has been made available.
