They are part of a broader resurgence of violence across the North, including terrorist attacks by Boko Haram in the North-East, banditry in the North-West, and ethno-religious clashes in the North-Central. The government\u2019s tepid response has emboldened killers, leaving citizens to question its commitment to their safety,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It said for years, their communities have endured unending cycles of violence while the government issues hollow condolences and empty promises.<a href=\"https:\/\/leadership.ng\/echoes-from-nasarawa-retreat-for-political-appointees-public-officers\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consequently, the CNG demanded that the President halt his extravagant holidaying in France in the face of the massacre of his citizens, whose resources he is utilising insatiably to return to confront the problem head-on. \u201cIt is a case of Nero fiddling while Rome is burning,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe demand that reinforced security forces be deployed at all flashpoints in Plateau to protect civilians. The government must adopt brutal efficiency in dismantling terror networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe demand that all perpetrators be arrested and prosecuted, including sponsors of these attacks. The era of impunity must end immediately and permanently.&nbsp; Nigeria\u2019s security framework must be overhauled to prioritise intelligence-driven operations, community engagement, and collaboration with locals,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also demanded that our armed forces launch sustained military offensives to crush the monstrous killers in Plateau, bandits in the Sokoto-Katsina-Zamfara axis and the regrouping terrorists in the North-East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It said, \u201cWe are tired of burying our children, mothers, and elders while the government looks the other way. Plateau\u2019s agony is Nigeria\u2019s shame. If the government cannot protect its people, it has no legitimacy. We charge President Tinubu to rise beyond rhetoric and act with the urgency this crisis demands. Enough of this nonsense!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CNG warns that continued government inaction will leave citizens no choice but to question its capacity to lead, saying Northerners will not accept another cycle of empty assurances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has expressed outrage over the relentless, senseless killings of innocent Nigerians in Plateau State in the last few weeks.
