Senator Dariye stated this when he led his wife, Valentina and members of his Choice Political Movement on a condolence visit to the Rayfield, Jos residence of Senator Istifanus Dung Gyang who lost his mother recently.
He observed that the attitude of some citizens of the state, who had made it a habit of maligning each other, was retarding the progress of sons and daughters of the state and appealed for an urgent step to halt the unacceptable practice.
" We have a problem here in Plateau State. In other climes, when you are progressing, they will bring a ladder to aid you in climbing to the top. But our situation here is not like that. Instead of helping you climb up, we bring 20 ladders to bring you down", Senator Dariye lamented.
He challenged Plateau citizens to unite and close ranks by supporting each other to achieve common goals which would lead to the unity, peaceful coexistence and development of the state.
Condoling Senator I.D Gyang and his siblings over the demise of their mother, the former Governor urged them to take solace in God over the collosal loss in view of the positive impact Mama had on them and all those that encountered her.
Senator Dariye eulogized Mama Gweh Lyop Dung Gyang for being a hardworking woman who defied all odds to raise her children in the fear of God and imparting sound morals in them, noting that she would always be remembered for her enduring legacies.
He urged Senator I.D Gyang not to relent in upholding the good virtues of his late mother which were embedded in hardwork, discipline, perseverance, dedication and the fear of God which enabled him to continue to be a shining star in Berom land.
Responding on behalf of the family, Senator Istifanus Gyang expressed deep appreciation to the Former Governor and his entourage for the visit, noting that the gesture had further strengthened the family.
He paid glowing tributes to his late mother for her consistency, resilience, patience and trust in God, noting that she ensured that she instilled these virtues in him and his siblings while raising them. He said Ngo Gweh Lyop Dung Gyang took up the responsibility of raising her family after the demise of their father in 1976.
Senator I.D Gyang noted that his mother was not deterred by her poor family background, as she defied all odds to singlehandedly fend for the family during a difficult period of widowhood and sued for prayers for divine comfort for the family.
Late Mama Gweh Lyop Dung Gyang passed away peacefully at the ripe age of 95.
