And I pray God will honour this,” she said emotionally.Recounting a heartfelt moment upon arrival, she recalled a little girl at the airport who welcomed her to the “land of peace and tourism,” a description she said she earnestly hopes becomes the true reality of Plateau State.Addressing the men of the state, the First Lady urged them to prioritize the safety of women and children, allowing them to continue their livelihoods in peace—especially farming and trading. “Whatever it takes, bring peace to this land,” she implored.Senator Tinubu also encouraged the youth to reject violence and embrace unity and patriotism, citing the second stanza of the National Anthem which calls on Nigerians to hand over a “banner without stain” to future generations.As part of her humanitarian support, the First Lady, through the Renewed Hope Initiative, donated ₦1 billion to victims of the violent conflicts in addition to food items and clothing.In response, Plateau State Governor Barr. Caleb Mutfwang expressed gratitude and promised that the funds would be used transparently and fairly. “I take full responsibility for the funds you have brought to us. We will disburse it to those who it is meant for and no elite will highjack it,” he assured.The event was attended by the Wife of the Vice President, Hajia Nana Shettima; members of the Plateau State Council of Traditional Rulers; religious leaders; market associations; youth groups; and representatives of the security agencies.  Attached Images: c88ac342f5fcf484ea56830d59bef2099348859db60e3380b4c81e5bcbcd154e.jpg Attached Video: None
