PDP MUSLIM VANGUARD PLATEAU STATE COMMENDS GOVERNOR MUTFWANG
In a press release
signed by the chairman of PDP Muslim Vanguard Plateau State Isa Musa Kwarshak and the secretary Imamudeen Wase said ‘As a conscious citizen of Plateau State
and Muslim members of our great party (PDP), we are committed to sustainable
peace and responsible leadership that will positively impact all citizens,
irrespective of tribal, religious, and political affiliations. We wish to
sincerely appreciate our dynamic and amiable Governor, HE Barr Caleb Mutfwang,
for appointing competent and capable individuals to assist him in driving the
wheels of leadership in the State to enviable heights.
The group noted
that with good knowledge of the sound track records of the appointees, we are
confident that they will live up to expectations and deliver in their
respective areas of responsibility, making Plateau State great again.
They reemphasized
that as Muslims who have been part of Governor Mutfwang’s political journey for
over a decade, we make bold to say that he is a man of peaceful disposition and
always tolerant of other people’s views, opinions, and beliefs.
Noting he is an
advocate of inclusiveness, carrying everyone along irrespective of tribal and
religious differences in his administration.
During his stint as
Council Chairman of Mangu LGA, Governor Mutfwang embraced the Muslim Ummah by
giving them key appointments in his administration and offering them the
highest number of Hajj slots, more than any time in history. They added
According to them,
it was not surprising that despite all odds, Governor Mutfwang was able to win
the election in Mangu Ward 1 and put in a very good performance in the 6
Federal Wards of Pyam Chiefdom. These areas were considered no-go areas for the
PDP during the Governorship election because of the high number of Muslims in
these Wards. This feat was achieved because of the trust, belief, and
confidence that the Muslim Ummah of Mangu LGA reposed in him.
They equally
lamented that they have watched with shock, disbelief, and utter shame as some
groups unknown to the PDP in Plateau State and individuals with particular
reference to "PLATEAU PDP VANGUARD FOR JUSTICE, EQUITY, AND
FAIRNESS"; signed by Christopher Yusuf and Abubakar Musa, Chairman and
Secretary general, respectively, published in the Withinigeria.com news outlet
of August 1, 2023, and also the one issued by one Barrister Muhammad Lawal
Ishaq with the caption "GOVERNOR MUTFWANG UNDER THE RADAR" published
by the Blueprint newspaper of August 2, 2023, hiding under the guise of
religion, embarked on a campaign of calumny, mischief, deceit, blackmail, and
falsehood to discredit Governor Mutfwang’s positive start to his well-focused
and people-oriented administration.
It is a fact that
no administration has ever made all appointments in one day, week, month, or
year. Appointments are a gradual process in governance and the Mutfwang administration
is no exception to this reality. They added
They said it is
pertinent to state that none of these faceless groups and individuals hiding
under Islam to blackmail Governor Mutfwang belongs to the PDP in Plateau State.
Explaining that
they may be Muslims but belong to opposition parties who did not vote for
Governor Mutfwang. Out of frustration, they have offered themselves as willing
tools for brazen lies, deception, mischief, and destabilization.
As Muslims
genuinely committed to the PDP who worked for the victory of Governor Mutfwang
and the PDP in Plateau State, we wish to state categorically and emphatically
that we are very happy and comfortable with the appointments made so far by
Governor Caleb Mutfwang concerning the Muslim Ummah. These appointments consist
of three members of the State Executive Council, two LGC Chairmen, and one
Assistant General Manager. They added
The group said it
is unfortunate, some people who rejected Governor Caleb Mutfwang because of
religious sentiments and endorsed the Governorship candidate of the APC have
turned around using religion to blackmail him. They should instead appreciate
him for his magnanimity in appointing three Muslims as Commissioners
considering the level of hate they displayed against him and his party (PDP) in
the build-up to the 2023 Governorship election while soliciting support from
the Muslim Ummah before the election.
The fifth
columnists and detractors engaged in deceitfulness and falsehood against
Governor Mutfwang for using Islam to achieve their goals should be ashamed.
