By, Justin Jattim.


The Executive Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, has reiterated his commitment to finding a lasting solution to end the killings and displacement of citizens in Plateau State.


Governor Mutfwang made this statement at the Fourth Quarter National Executive Council Meeting of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Jos on Tuesday 18th November, 2025.


The meeting provided a platform for Christian leaders, stakeholders, traditional rulers, and government officials to discuss key national issues affecting the Christian community in Nigeria.


Represented by his deputy, Ngo Josephine Piyo, Governor Mutfwang said his administration is committed to restoring peace across communities, resettling displaced persons, and restoring dignity to affected families.


"This meeting comes at a time when our nation continues to navigate complex challenges—social, economic, and security-related. Yet, we remain confident that through unity, wisdom, and our collective faith in God, Nigeria will rise above every storm," he said.


CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, renewed his appeal to the Federal Government and the International Community to urgently and decisively halt the senseless killings and displacement of people in communities across the country.


The CAN President noted that the silence in the face of injustice was not only irresponsible but un-Biblical.


In an exhortation, CAN Vice President Rev. Stephen Panya Baba emphasized the importance of Christian unity, stating that when Christians fail to stand together, the enemy destroys the people.


Other stakeholders, including former COCIN President Prof. Pandang Yamsat, Prophet Isa El Buba, Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, and Ujah Anaguta, Pozoh Johnson Magaji, among others, spoke in support of key matters of national interest.


The meeting transformed into a thunderous moral uprising, with prominent Christian leaders, top clerics, and Plateau State officials uniting to condemn escalating killings, displacement, and government indifference to the humanitarian crisis sweeping across the country.


Archbishop Okoh delivered a bold keynote address, lamenting the repeated massacres on the Plateau and other parts of the country, insisting that the pattern of killings amounts to Christian genocide.


Prophet Isa El-Buba declared that the Church can no longer afford "weak or cautious statements," unveiling a strategic rescue framework for Christian communities.


HRM Ujah Anaguta gave a raw and heartbreaking account of losses within his kingdom, condemning attempts to manipulate casualty figures and insisting that Christians must take ownership of their narrative.


Apostle Ezekiel Dachomo demanded immediate restructuring of Nigeria's security architecture, warning that political correctness and fear must not silence truth.


The meeting concluded with a powerful message: the Church must rise, Nigeria must confront the truth, genocide must be acknowledged, justice must prevail, and Plateau will stand again.
