From Gyang Bere, Jos

Former Chairman of Mangu Local Government Council and Gubernatorial Aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Barr Caleb Mutfwang, has assured that he will return Plateau State to the PDP and tackle security challenges and provide massive infrastructural development for the people.

He said the state has suffered a setback in terms of insecurity, and lack of infrastructural development in the past seven years in the hands of the clueless All Progressives Congress (APC) government.

Barr. Mutfwang disclosed this on Wednesday during a visit to the Executive Committee of the PDP to declare his intention to contest the 2023 governorship election under the banner of the party in Jos, Plateau State.

“I am well known to you because I am a party man, we have fought many battles together for the preservation of this party. I have committed myself to ensuring that the PDP survive on the Plateau and by the grace of God PDP will survive.

“The future of Plateau State lies in the survival of PDP and by the grace of God PDP will remain and become stronger because Plateau shall raise again. We are committed to ensuring that the lost glory of Plateau is restored.

“I have come here to formerly intimate you of why I am in this contest, that by the grace of God i am burdened with the burden of Plateau. I have been leaving in pain for the last seven years because of the height from which Plateau has fallen from glory.

“Plateau that was a land, well respected among states in Nigeria, has become a land where people are not happy. I have come to announce that given the mandate to lead PDP into the 2023 election, the tears of the Plateau people will be wiped away.

“I have come to ask for your mandate and support to lead the onslaught against the APC because of the damage they have done to Plateau, the damage it has done to Nigeria.”
