By: Raymond Gukas

Plateau Our Heritage revival initiative (POHri) has enjoined the Plateau State Governor-elect, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang to be magnanimous in victory and 

“embrace those who contested with you and work with the ideas contained in their blueprints”

The group noted that with such spirit, a better, greater and more prosperous Plateau State will be achievable since that is the essence of governance. 

Chairman of POHri,  Hon. Alex Yoila Kwapnoe in a statement signed by Comrade Friday Bako, Secretary, gave this advise while congratulating all elected persons across the state in the recently concluded general elections. 

Mutfwang who is also a member of the highly placed POHri, was further charged to “prioritize the collective needs of the people above any parochial consideration urging those who contested with him to join hands to build the “Plateau of our dream”

Hon. Kwapnoe then called on those who are not satisfied with the outcome of the elections to seek redress through the appropriate and available channels, so as to avoid acts that are capable of pitching the peaceful people against each other.

“We are optimistic that you will not disappoint the trust and confidence reposed in you by the citizens of the State but justify the mandate bestowed on you with optimal performance”, he enjoined the governor-elect.

Nigeria and Plateau State in particular are blessed with immense potentials (human and natural) that need to be tapped for the prosperity of the State and country.  You must remain focused to deliver dividends of democracy to the people in line with your campaign promises” he stressed.
