The political atmosphere in Plateau State is charged with renewed optimism following the declaration of Hon. Theophilus Dakas for the position of State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). His entry into the race has been described by both party loyalists and political observers as a potential game-changer capable of uniting the party and restoring its lost glory.
Hon. Dakas, a seasoned politician and long-time stalwart of the PDP, is widely respected for his calm disposition, strategic thinking, and ability to build bridges across divides. Over the years, he has remained a strong pillar of support for the party, especially during periods of internal strife and leadership crises that threatened its cohesion.
Party stakeholders recall that during some of the most turbulent moments in the PDP’s history in Plateau State, Dakas played a key role in reconciling aggrieved members and fostering dialogue among opposing factions. His leadership style, they say, is defined by patience, inclusiveness, and an unwavering commitment to the ideals of democracy.
Some political observers believe that with Hon. Theophilus Dakas as the state party chairman, the PDP will finally be able to resolve most of its lingering internal crises. These include the mass exodus and defection of members to other political parties, particularly the All Progressives Congress (APC), which has over time weakened the PDP’s grassroots structures across the state.
Many within the PDP see his candidature as an opportunity for rebirth — a chance to reposition the party for electoral victory ahead of future polls. His reputation as a unifier and consensus builder, they argue, will be instrumental in mending old wounds and strengthening the confidence of members who had lost faith in the system.
Political analysts also note that Dakas’s emergence could change the tone of Plateau’s political discourse. His approach to leadership is seen as issue-driven, focusing more on governance, policy direction, and development-oriented politics rather than personal interests or internal rivalries.
For the opposition, his entry into the race has generated considerable interest. Many see him as someone capable of reviving the PDP’s competitive strength, which would make the political contest in the state more robust and engaging.
As consultations continue and party congresses draw near, Hon. Theophilus Dakas’s aspiration continues to gather momentum among various support groups, youth organizations, and elders of the party. There is a growing belief that his leadership could mark a new beginning for the PDP in Plateau State — one that emphasizes reconciliation, unity, and the collective progress of all members.
If the optimism surrounding his candidature is anything to go by, the Plateau PDP may soon witness a new era of stability and renewed strength under a chairman who has proven to be both a strategist and a unifier.
