Rise in solidarity as a community against act of terror–ECWA President 

By Ezekiel Dontinna 

President of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA), Rev. Dr. Job Ayuba Baggat, has admonished communities to rise in solidarity with resolve and dedication against any act of terror by upholding their values.

This was contained in a press statement signed by him and made available to newsmen in Jos, the Plateau State capital Saturday.

The President said, “I am profoundly saddened by the loss of lives, the destruction of many houses, the displacement of families, and the overwhelming atmosphere of fear that these attacks have sown within our communities.

“Let us mobilize our faith to dismantle the ideologies of fear, and instead, become champions of love and compassion. 

“In the face of adversity, we must rise as one community, committed to ensuring that such acts of terror are met with resolve, solidarity, and a dedication to the values we uphold”, he encouraged.

Baggat, therefore, urged the rest of public to be mindful of the fact that, there was need for them to realize that these attacks were not just assaults on the individuals and those affected, but were assaults on humanity.

 According to him, “it is our collective responsibility to denounce such acts of terrorism and violence, which arise from hatred and division. 

“We must reject the ideologies that seek to dismantle the fabric of our communities, and instead, cultivate a spirit of love, understanding and mutual respect.

“We, furthermore, advise all communities to wake up to their responsibility of being sensitive and observant of any security threats manifesting in their environments”, the President reiterated.

He, however, called on the Federal Government to explore modalities of tackling the problem of insecurity in the country holistically and ensure its lasting effect.
