Abuja (Sundiata Post) – The Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, has assured that his successor will emerge from the Plateau Northern Zone in line with the States zoning formula.
The Governor Stated this in Jos during an event to mark his 60th birthday.
The event was a colloquium organised by a group, known as the BCM Media, primarily to commemorate the 60th birthday anniversary of the Governor.
Tagged: “Leadership and Transformation: the Renaissance of Plateau Economy”, the group seeks to articulate the achievements of the Governor.
In his remarks, Mutfwang said: “I will respect the wishes of Plateau people; I will honour the existing power sharing arrangements in the state.
“By the special grace of God, after my successful tenure, the next governor will come from the northern part of the state.
“This is non-negotiable, and I will respect this arrangement to the latter,” Mutfwang said.
The governor also distanced himself from the ongoing rumours about the impeachment of the speaker of the state’s House of Assembly, Mr Gabriel Dewan.
“The current leadership in the assembly wasn’t our creation.
“We honoured the wishes of Plateau people and ensured the speaker came from the southern part of the state.
“With the removal of the lawmakers elected under my party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), by the court, the current leadership in the assembly emerged.
“Those trying to create confusion behind the scene should kindly desist henceforth,” the governor warned.
Mutfwang, who thanked the organisers of the event, promised to continually provide good governance to the people of the state
