He said there was no time the House had planned to impeach the Governor, saying the House only gave the Governor a two weeks ultimatum to speak out and given the people hope.
“We have never being against the Governor and I will never be against the Governor. He is a Governor of Plateau State who the people voted him into power to protect the people of the state.
“We are not against him, we are not preparing anything just like the thinking of the general public that we want to impeach the Governor. What were saying is that people are being killed in hundreds and thousands, farms are being destroy and we want to stand with the people.
“Thank God the Governor has started doing some of the things we want him to do. He has visited Yelwa Zangam community and provided food for them, he has visited Jebbu Miango and provided food for them.”
