The National Chairman of the PVD, a socio-political group, Christopher Ishaku, gave the commendation in a statement today..
Ishaku also said that the APC’s national chairman’s declaration personally lead the second-term campaign drive of Gov. Caleb Mutfwang, showing humility, maturity and sense of purpose, adding that the move signified a strong signal of unity and stability within the party.
According to him, Yilwatda has demonstrated uncommon humility and statesmanship.
‘’His decision to rally all tendencies within the APC and to spearhead the second-term campaign of Governor Caleb Mutfwang shows that Plateau’s interest is greater than personal ambition.”

‘’The only pathway to lasting peace and prosperity lies in unity of purpose among political actors and residents alike.
‘’We therefore call on supporters of Gov. Mutfwang to be gracious and accommodating in embracing the interests and leadership role of the APC national chairman.

Ishaku further said that a united Plateau under a cohesive APC would be better positioned to defeat the forces of criminality and terrorism that had rampaged parts of the state in recent years.
He also urged all stakeholders, political leaders, youth groups, women, traditional institutions and civil society to close ranks and work together for peace, development and a secure future for the state.
