National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has cautioned his supporters against fighting Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang on his behalf.
According to him, he and the governor have buried whatever differences they had in the past and are now working for the good of the state.
The two prominent sons of Plateau were political opponents when they contested for the governorship position in 2023, which was won by Mutfwang, who was then a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Since then, their supporters and loyalists have taken every opportunity to throw attacks and insults at each other ostensibly on behalf of the politicians.
But while speaking in Jos Monday, Nentawe appealed to his loyalists to desist from further attacks on the governor now that he has defected to the APC and is now working in the interest of the state.
The APC Chairman stated that whatever difference he had with Mutfwang in the past was not a personal fight but as political foes in different camps, they would naturally have differences in opinions and ideologies but now that they are in the same camp, there was no need for such differences.
“Today, I want to thank God for two reasons. We’ve united with my brother, Governor Caleb Mutfwang, in the same party, and we will provide the best we can.
“By the grace of God and with your support, we will ensure that Plateau actually gets what it deserves at the national and state levels,” the former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction said.
“We never had any personal problems, and we never had any personal grudges. What we had was a political difference. We’ve closed those gaps, and we’re working together to ensure that we provide peace for our people, provide development for our people, and provide support for our people at any needed time.
“We now have a strong partnership. So, I’m calling upon anybody who is hearing my voice: If you have any political difference with Mutfwang because of me or for any reason, please, let bygones be bygones and let peace reign supreme in our state,” he added.
