Caleb Mutfwang, the Governor of Plateau State has pledged his commitment to the Peoples Democratic Party, saying the party’s worst fears have dissipated for good.
Mutfwang, speaking to the members of the Nigerian Guild of Editors, expressed optimism about the party’s future, highlighting his administration’s achievements and progress in the state.
He said, “You want to know where I will be by 2026? By the grace of God, I will be where I am . I said it today to some of your colleagues who visited me earlier. I said, my politics has been dictated by God and the people. And I believe there’s an alignment between God and the people of Plateau State. And they spoke well in 2023, and what they said in 2023 has not changed, to the best of my knowledge.
“And so I will always go where God and the people want me to be. And so we’re in a season of anomie where each political season comes with its own dynamics. And so you have to measure your steps. You have to look before you leap. And I believe things will become clearer as the days go by, but for now, all said and done, the worst fear people had about the PDP is gone. We got stuck at a point, but I think that PDP is back on its road, where it will get to, only God knows. But for now, I think we’re in a good place”
The governor stated that under his administration, the state had made considerable progress in developing every sector of the economy.
“We have 17 Local Government Areas in the state, and I can tell you that there is no LGA that we don’t have projects going on”, the governor said
Mutfwang speaking on insecurity mentioned that a fact-finding committee on insecurity in the state had submitted its report, which he will forward to the President and security agencies.
He assured that the report will not gather dust and that the government will take action based on its findings.
“When I came in, particularly people knew my relationship with former Governor Jang, and they said that Jang didn’t like Muslims, which was a lie, and that I am also anti Muslim. But I’m sure now you can’t go to Jos North and abuse me and go free. You will not.
“For the first time in the history of this state, we conducted the most peaceful local government election in Jos North communities.
“I think we had far better consensus in Jos North than many other local governments, because we’ve tried to ensure dialogue understanding, and that’s what we are building on”, the governor added
