PROF. DAKUM CONGRATULATES LP STATE CHAIRMAN ON HER WEDDING, ADMONISHES HER THAT MARRIAGE COMES WITH ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

By James Yashiyi
The gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 General Election in Plateau State, Professor Patrick Dakum has celebrated with former Ms. Grace Zamfara the State Chairman of the party as she weds her husband, Reverend Paul Ayuba Posat. The Holy Matrimony of the duo was solemnised at the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) Bishara 1 Bukuru, Jos South Plateau State and was graced by dignitaries from both the church and political circles in the state and beyond.
Represented at the occasion by his Personal Assistant, Mr Jonathan Gukut, Prof Dakum who was father of the day extolled the virtues of Zamfara in her capacity as State Party Chairman, stating that the party structure has seen better days under her able leadership and used the occasion to thank her for the selfless sacrifices she has been making to secure the growth of the party in the state. He however added that her new status as wife of a Reverend comes with additional responsibilities and some of these responsibilities will compete with her political office. Hence prays that God Almighty will provide her with sufficient grace to manage both offices effectively.  
Gukut added that his principal, Prof Dakum really wanted to be personally present at the auspicious event but for numerous engagements, nevertheless, he sends that his personal and family’s goodwill are with the couple as they tie the marital knot. He added that with Prof Dakum’s over 41 years of married life experience, he advises that the couple should build their tent under the banner of Jesus Christ who is the author of Christian marriage itself, and concluded that it is the only surety to happy marital union. Gukut further buttressed the sermon of Reverend Silas Yako who was the Guest Preacher that the “Santi” a Hausa word for ‘sweetness’ of marriage is something that can only be derived when the couple individually prioritise the welfare and wellbeing of each other rather than self’s only.
He then wished for a marital bliss for the couple.
At the event were members of the Labour Party National EXCO, with the State Chairman of the Party in Sokoto State representing the National Chairman of the Party, Comrade Julius Abure and other dignitaries that included Pastor Esther Ibanga and Jemimah Mbaya among others who came out in numbers to celebrate with the couple.

GRASSROOTS NEWS

I strongly condemn, in the clearest and most unequivocal terms, the reported attack on innocent citizens at Angwan Rukuba in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State on the evening of Sunday, March 29, 2026.The disturbing reports of sporadic gunfire, allegedly carried out by suspected terrorists targeting unsuspecting passers-by before fleeing the scene, represent yet another tragic assault on peace, human dignity, and the sanctity of life. Such cowardly acts are not only reprehensible but entirely unacceptable in any civilized society.I am deeply concerned about the safety and well-being of residents in the affected area, particularly amid the uncertainty surrounding the number of casualties. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the entire Angwan Rukuba community during this painful and distressing time.I call on security agencies to act swiftly and decisively to:Track down and apprehend the perpetrators of this heinous act;Restore calm and confidence within the affected community;Intensify proactive intelligence gathering and surveillance to prevent further occurrences.Furthermore, I urge community leaders, youth groups, and residents to remain vigilant, cooperate fully with security operatives, and resist any form of reprisal that could escalate tensions.The recurrence of such incidents underscores the urgent need for a more robust, coordinated, and intelligence-driven security architecture across Plateau State and beyond. The protection of lives and property must remain a non-negotiable priority at all levels of government.I stand in solidarity with the people of Jos North and remain committed to advocating for peace, justice, and accountability.Enough is enough. The bloodshed must stop. No one—absolutely no one—deserves to die in such an unprovoked and gruesome manner.Chief Yilchini Jan Bida
