YILLAH CALLS FOR CALM AMIDST VDM OUTBURST, CHARGES MUTFWANG TO BE MORE RESPONSIVE TO SECURITY OF LIVES AND PROPERTY


A philanthropist and International Business Mogul, Dennis Yillah, has pleaded for restraint amid tumultuous disenchantment trailing VDM's recent video in respect of the security situation in Plateau State.

While extending his condolences to the people and government of Plateau State for the recent breach of peace in the state culminating in the killing of over 100 people by marauding Fulani terrorists in Bokkos and Bassa Local Government Areas of the State, Yillah said the least Governor Mutfwang needs at this grieving moment is unnecessary distractions and social media outrage, no matter how anybody feels about the governor's handling of the situation.

According to him, no right thinking leader would value cows over the lives of his people, but admonished that taking swift action for death of cattle when people are yet to bury their loved ones killed by Fulani is not unlikely to be misrepresented because of the momentary rage and anger in the people.

According to Yillah, Plateau is still mourning, hence the social media rantings by Plateau people for and against VDM's outburst is needless, safe for the governor's spokespersons who are duty-bound to make official statement to  clarify government position.

He acknowledges VDM as a strong-willed activist who fearlessly takes on government and individuals that oppress the poor, but admonished that Very Dark Man ought to have considered the timing and mood of Plateau people before voicing out his displeasure.

While commending Governor Mutfwang for his matured approach to handling crisis situations in Plateau, his prompt visits to affected communities and investments in the security architecture, Yillah emphasized that such efforts must find expression in the safety of lives and property of Plateau people for it to achieve its purpose.
