Pankshin APC Stakeholders have commended the President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR,
for showing exemplary leadership by taking immediate steps to reform the
economic architecture of the country and the measures taken to cushion the
effect of subsidy removal and enforcement of rule of law about the dissolution
and suspension of elected Local Government Chairmen and Councilors, no matter
which state is involved.
This was contained In a Communique which was signed by Acting
Chairman of APC Pankshin Zakka Lengji and Presented by Professor John Wokton Wade after the All
Progressives Congress APC Pankshin Local Government Area Stakeholders Meeting
on Saturday 15th July 2023.
The stakeholders unanimously adopted the Resolutions of the
State Party's Extraordinary Stakeholders Meeting, held at APC Kalwa House, Jos
under the able leadership of the immediate past Governor, His Excellency, Rt.
Hon. (Dr.) Simon Bako Lalong, KSG, CON remains the rallying point of APC in
Plateau State. His phenomenal achievements are legendary and cannot be easily
eroded.
Members equally agreed to collaborate and encourage each
other, to remain steadfast, loyal and committed to the ideals and philosophy of
the All-Progressives Congress, APC. And also resolved to consolidate on past
gains, and where there are shortcomings, make amends.
The Meeting received with delight the updated briefings on
APC Cases in the Election Petition Tribunal; the debt profile of Plateau state
at the exit of the last regime and the present position of Pankshin Local
Government Council. It was noted that, by the grace of God and so far, without
prejudice, the various cases are good to go and there is clear hope of victory.
The development is virtually like a student writing examination and from his
instinct, knows whether he will pass or not.
With regards to the dissolution of Local Government Councils,
the meeting noted and appreciated that the Association of Local Government of
Nigeria (ALGON) at both the National and State levels are providing desired
leadership and direction, trusting that this will also come to pass. The
meeting further noted and appreciated that there are two subsisting injunctions
and one ruling, all in favour of ALGON, concerning reverting to Status Quo
Ante, which the State Government flagrantly refused to obey.
On The Debt Profile Left by former Governor Lalong, the
meeting appreciated that there are verifiable records through the portal of the
Debt Management Office (DMO) at the State and National levels, to advance their
position and defend the true position of issues. The meeting noted that the
substantial debt carried over included substantial monies borrowed from the
Jang administration whose Irrevocable Standing Payment Order (ISPO) extends to
the year 2037!
The stakeholders noted with concern and dismay that a
high-profile Transition and Strategic Planning Committee of a new regime,
composed of Academics, Elder Statesmen and people trained in Public Policy and
Strategic matters could allow themselves to be so gullible and manipulated into
buying very cheap and false statements and narratives of blackmail and
incorporated and presented such falsehood into its report. All these false
narratives are in the name of begging for sympathy from the people, which so
far have been ridiculous and laughable. Members are urged to always cross-check
facts placed in the public domain by the opposition.
The meeting, on moral grounds, urged the government and
appropriate authorities, that it is only expeditious to exhibit duty of care
and ensure that policy statements are released based on truth of facts and not
lies, blackmail and deception.
stakeholders commiserated with the Governor of Plateau State,
His Excellency, Barrister Caleb Manassa Mutfwang and the elected Chairman of
Mangu LGA, Hon. Minister Daput over the incessant killings in some parts of the
LGA, which has led to the influx of displaced people mostly women and children
in most parts of Pankshin LGA. The dexterity, diligence and duty of care of the
Executive Chairman of Mangu LGA towards his people are well appreciated.
The meeting also noted and commended the past efforts of the
Lalong’s Administration that had held regular Security Council Meetings (in
fact, twice in May 2023 before expiration of tenure) that have often
tremendously abated clashes; contrary to false propaganda that the
administration never held Security Council Meeting for over one year.
The stakeholders commended the efforts and gallantry
exhibited by the Military Personnel in reducing the escalation of the crisis
and sustaining the peace. They urged
their members to render help where necessary and whenever they encounter such
displaced people within their neighbourhood.
They solicited the cooperation of all members in exposing the
activities of bandits across the state as their civic responsibility.
The Pankshin APC Stakeholders Extra-Ordinary Meeting was
converged under the leadership of Hon. Nde Kakmena Audu Goteng, Executive
Chairman of Pankshin LGC, and chaired by Acting Chairman of the Party, Hon. Nde
Zakka Lengji. Present at the Meeting were, the twelve Federal Ward Chairmen;
Ward Secretaries; Ward Women Leaders; Ward Youth Leaders; All LGA EXCO Members;
Representatives of Elders Forum from each Ward; Physically Challenged Leaders;
Critical Stakeholders in Jos; All Serving Ward Councilors; All present and
former political appointees who are in APC.
