Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has apologised to the people of Plateau State for not visiting communities affected by violence during his previous visit, according to Daily Post. He pledged to rebuild the communities and support the return of displaced people.

Speaking at an APC campaign rally in Jos on Saturday, the president explained that during his last visit his movements had been limited to the airport. "Forgive me if you did not see me in the city," he said. He added that he had seen the devastation and received a report from Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, who praised him for the peace he is bringing to the state.

Tinubu assured that bereaved families, residents whose homes were destroyed and displaced people would be supported, and that the communities would be rebuilt. He called for peaceful coexistence and unity among the people of Plateau.
