‘I’ll be governor for all,’ says Plateau Governor-elect, Mutfwang
Mr Caleb Mutfwang, Plateau State Governor-elect, has promised to be governor for all by providing good governance for every resident of the state.
Mutfwang, a lawyer, made the promise on Monday while addressing PDP members in Jos, shortly after he was declared winner of the governorship election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Governor-elect defeated the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Nentawe Yilwatda with a wide margin of over 43,000 votes.
“I am humbled by the confidence you have reposed in me, I want to appreciate the Almighty God for keeping me alive and healthy and for giving me this privilege to serve you for His own purpose.
“The trust you have given me is not going to be taken for granted as the enormity of the task ahead is not lost on me, knowing that God Almighty supplies grace for every given assignment.
“I’m confident that we shall not come short of your expectations. I therefore humbly accept this responsibility because the time to rescue Plateau is now.
“I intend to set up an inclusive administration with a clear vision of developing the entire state. By God’s grace, we shall be fair and just in all our dealings,” Mutfwang added.
The Governor-elect thanked all who believed in him, mobilised, supported, prayed and voted for him and called on all citizens to rise up together as a united people to confront the state’s challenges ahead.
