Plateau State Governor,
Caleb Mutfwang has applauded the media for standing with him in the period of travails before the judiciary.

Mutfwang was speaking during a thanksgiving session in Jos, the state capital.

Describing the Supreme Court as the last hope for justice, he narrated how some powerful forces within and outside the state wanted to truncate the hard earned verdict of majority of voters in the state, who thronged out enmasse to ensure the victory of his party, the PDP.

He was particularly impressed with the correspondents’ chapel of the NUJ in the state, where he said had stood out for justice while the governorship election litigation lasted, saying they remained his and by extension, the heroes/heroines of Plateau.

The governor was also full of praises to the President, Bola Tinubu whom, he said refused to allow these forces penetrate the seat of government to sell lies and further seek his intervention to take over power in the state by any means possible.

As a father of the land, he appealed the president for remaining neitral and stressed that to allow the wish of the people triumph, has earned Tinubu the respect he had earned for himself across the globe.

Mutfwang was full of commendation for religious bodies who were neutral during and after and prayed that he shall not disappoint because the victory has further challenged him to do more for the state.

The prayer session which attracted churches leaders and worshippers from different denominations across the state, also attracted lovers of the state from all over the country; including for military and civilian governors from the state and outside.

Published

By Salisu Baso

As the crisis erupted within Kano’s ruling party NNPP, with some members calling for the governor to stand independently, the Kano State House of Assembly has denied knowledge of any of its members being involved in the rifts.

The Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Lawan Hussain, representing Dala Constituency, revealed this to newsmen in an interview with journalists over the publication of an online newspaper, Daily Nigeria, stating that some members of the NNPP in the House have joined the factional crisis.

#

He described the news as a fabricated and mischievous story from unpatriotic elements planning to destroy the peace reigning within the party. He said that as far as the members of the House are concerned, there are no conflicts between the governor and the leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Senator Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

The Majority Leader therefore assured the party parliament members of their solid support for the leader of the Kwankwasiyya and state governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, adding that the governor considers Senator Kwankwaso his mentor.

On the issue of some party members calling for the governor to be independent (Tsaya da Kafar Ka), Hon. Dala said the governor is operating independently without interference from any person. He therefore accused some opposition politicians from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, of sponsoring unpatriotic people to ignite a crisis in the state with a view to disrupting the government’s development initiatives.
