Tinubu postpones Ogun trip, heads to Plateau after terrorist massacre
ABUJA, NIGERIA, 02 April 2026 (NPA) — President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has postponed his planned visit to Iperu, Ogun State, declaring that his foremost duty is to stand with the people of Plateau State following the weekend massacre by terrorists.
In a statement issued late Wednesday, the President announced he will travel to Jos to commiserate with bereaved families and to assure citizens that those who spread fear and violence will not succeed.
Tinubu reaffirmed his administration’s determination to strengthen Nigeria’s security response and ensure justice by bringing the perpetrators of the heinous crime to account.
According to the statement, after his visit to Plateau, the President will proceed to Lagos to observe Good Friday before continuing with scheduled engagements in Ogun, Lagos, and Bayelsa. These activities will focus on infrastructure, trade, and economic growth.
“In moments of grief, we must stand together. In moments of progress, we must keep building. The work continues. Nigeria First,” the statement read.
