Abuja (Sundiata Post) –The Senior Special Assistant (SSA), on Igbo affairs to the Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, has mobilized all Igbo Community leaders across the 17 Local Government Areas (LGA), of the State to vote overwhelmingly for all the People’s Democratic Party Candidates (PDP), in the forthcoming LG election.
The aid, Hon Felix Akpunku JP, the Plateau Igbo Community (PICA), were informed in a meeting held yesterday in Jos to educate their subjects on the development strides of the Governor in just one year and few months in office, saying that if the success must continue, the PDP should be voted at the grassroots.
Speaking to the Igbo Chairmen of the 17 LGAs Akpunku emphasized that Mutfwang since elected has extended inclusiveness to the Igbo people in his government.
He said areas dominated by Igbo tribes in the State have received face lifts in terms of road infrastructure.
He noted that when a School building populated by Igbo children collapsed in the State, the Governor who was abroad on an official assignment cut short his trip and returned immediately to attend to the disaster.
“It is time to reciprocate the kind gesture of the Governor towards us. We should encourage him to do more considering the relative peace we are enjoying and to sustain it, the PDP leadership instituted at all levels within the State.
“Let us not forget that our people are visibly businessmen and women which means that the sustenance of peace will boost our economic growth and that of the government.
“The Governor’s laudable programmes are gradually being implemented in line with the greater Jos master plan. The most laudable of all is the implementation of the poverty alleviation programme come 2025”, Akpunku.
Our correspondent reports that notable among Igbo dignitaries in attendance is the President General of the Igbo Community in the State, Chief Mike Okunonke.
The Plateau Local Government Election according to the State electoral body, is slated to hold on the 9th of October 2024.
