The case has, finally, been decided. You and I voted and, also, prayed at each stage of the legal battle at the election tribunal, appeal and supreme court today. When a political matter gets to court for determination, it has graduated from the realm where political sagasity can be demonstrated to where legal prowess takes precedence. At the court, you will hear phrases like 'in the wisdom of this court' or 'from the point of law,...', etc.
The outcome of this case might be or might not have been what you wished or expected would happened but, because you sincerely prayed for the will of God to be done, accept this verdict as an act of God and wish the regime winner well. The time of politics is gone; it is time to put all hands on deck and, to build a secured, united and prosperous Plateau State together.
It was tough political tussle, really, but at last, governor Mutfwang's green revolution won. This means the state's responsibility has beckoned on him. His government is, therefore, wished well. To the main challenger, professor Nentawe Yilwatda and his blue revolution, I salute his doggedness. The contender has clearly shown that when he believes in a cause, he fights for it to finish. That is the spirit and, he can be sure, there is always another day to try!
Politics is a learning curve. Democracy is a contest of ideas. The green cap and the blue cap have both been tested and determined in favour of the green manifesto. The people have spoken, the highest court in the land has stamped the will of the people but this is not the end of the matter. The most important thing is to make Plateau state work for the common good!
Let me conclude by a post I read earlier today: "If our HOPES doesn't touch the BLUE SKY, then, it will definately flourish on a GREEN LAND. No let politics turn your brethren into artificial enemies. PLATEAU FIRST!". This patriotic submission means alot to me and, I hope, it will for you too!
Oh, lord God almighty we thank you for the expression of your will over Plateau. May you superintend over the affairs of the state and grant her unity, peace and progress in everyway and always.
