If you don’t fear political propaganda in Plateau State, then you likely fear nothing at all. Few examples illustrate this better than the treatment meted out to Prof. Nentawe. During the last election cycle, he was vilified, mocked, and branded with all sorts of labels. His opponents went as far as accusing him of planning to “sell the state” simply because of the political platform he chose to run on.
Fast-forward barely two years, and the same individuals who demonised him are now alleging that he is sabotaging their attempts to join that same political party. The irony is striking. Those who once claimed he was unfit to lead are suddenly eager to benefit from the very structure they ridiculed—and they now blame him for standing in their way.
It should be noted that despite the persecution he endured, Prof. Nentawe did not retreat or fade away. Instead, the turbulence strengthened his political relevance. He was first appointed as a Minister and later elevated to the position of National Chairman of the party—clear indications that his competence and resilience were recognised far beyond the noise of local propaganda.
In the end, the shifting narratives only expose the inconsistency of his critics. What was once condemned is now being pursued, and the man they maligned has risen even higher. Plateau politics remains unpredictable, but its contradictions speak louder than any smear campaign.
