The Chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateau State, Hon Rufus Bature has congratulated the Governor of Plateau State, Barrister Caleb Mutfwang over his victory at the Supreme Court.
The party in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary Mr Slyvanus Namang said the hard-earned victory which has come after a long-drawn legal battle has put an end to who is the actual winner of the 2023 governorship election in Plateau state.
“With Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s confirmation by the Supreme Court which has the final say on the legal tussle, we urge the governor to see his victory as a call to service and concentrate on governance taking into cognisance the urgent need for fairness, justice and inclusivity.”
The APC Chairman called on the Governor to in the true Plateau spirit, review some of the hasty decisions he took on assumption of office on 29th May 2023 especially as it relates to the removal of workers employed by his immediate predecessor and the dissolution of elected Local Government Council Chairmen and Councillors.
He added that the Governor should see himself as a father of all especially given the complexity of our beloved State as a miniature Nigeria where every ethnic nationality is found.
Bature said that for Plateau State to reclaim its past glory as the true Home of Peace and Tourism, a genuine reconciliation is required which informs the need for an apolitical and all-inclusive stakeholder engagement where solutions would be proffered for the incessant carnage which has engulfed our beleaguered state with hundreds of precious lives lost and unquantified properties destroyed.
The APC Chairman commended its gubernatorial candidate, Dr Nentawe Yilwatda over his doggedness, resilience and sportsmanship as a true democrat who believes in the rule of law and pursued his case with all sense of calmness and without bitterness. He wishes him the best in his future endeavours as a true son of Plateau State and a consummate democrat who means well for Plateau State of our dreams.
As a party, the APC Chairman restated the party’s strong belief in our courts as true arbiters in disputes and disagreements to ensure the growth and stability of our budding democracy.
