“A New Path Is Inevitable”: Dachung Bagos Speaks on PDP Crisis and Plateau’s Future

The situation within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has deteriorated to a level that can no longer be ignored, especially by those of us who carry the responsibility of representing the hopes and political interests of the Plateau people. Today, the truth is clear and unavoidable: leaving the PDP is no longer speculation— it is an imminent and strategic decision.

The party has lost the national structure, unity, and organizational discipline required to support credible candidates in a general election. The most basic question remains unanswered: Who is leading the PDP at the national level? Is it the Turaki-led faction or the Abdularam-led faction? A political party that cannot resolve its own leadership cannot defend the mandate of its candidates, nor can it offer stability to its members across the country.

For me in Plateau State, this crisis is not just an Abuja conversation—we have tasted the consequences before. We remember the confusion, abandonment, and lack of coordination that crippled our efforts after the 2023 elections that we were all removed from office through the courts for lack of structure. Our people suffered for it. Our political stability suffered. And our collective mandate was exposed due to internal disunity at the national level.

We cannot afford to take the Plateau people through that same painful experience again.
Not in 2027.
Not at a time when our politics demands clarity, strength, and national alignment.

Plateau deserves a political platform that is coherent, disciplined, and capable of delivering victory—not a platform trapped in endless internal battles. A platform that can protect our votes, defend our candidates, and provide the national structure needed to secure the future of our people.

Plateau is watching. Nigeria is watching.

It is time to embrace strategy over sentiment. We must align with a political structure that is stable, visionary, and nationally present—one that can give Plateau the voice, protection, and opportunity it deserves in the coming political season.

Our next political steps will be guided by the need to secure the interests of Plateau, safeguard the collective mandate of our people, and ensure we stand on a platform built on unity—not confusion; on strength—not crisis; on progress—not political recycling.

As we make decisions about the road ahead, I urge our leaders and stakeholders of the PDP in line with our guiding principle to reconsider the current situation of the PDP in the interest of Plateau and the advancement of our collective aspirations. What we need is a platform built on unity, strength, and forward-looking politics

For Plateau, for our people, and for the future, a new political direction is not just necessary—it is inevitable.

U.S. Raises Concerns Over Nigeria’s Security and Humanitarian Crisis – Otunba Segun Showunmi Warns Leadership

Otunba Segun Showunmi, Convener of The Alternative, has raised strong concerns over Nigeria’s worsening security and humanitarian situation following a high-level engagement with a senior U.S. congressional figure directly involved in shaping America’s policy toward Nigeria.

In an internal briefing note, Showunmi disclosed that the United States now views Nigeria’s internal crisis with unprecedented seriousness, describing Washington’s posture as “firm, focused, and deeply concerned.”

According to Showunmi, American authorities have conducted extensive consultations with government and civil society stakeholders both in Washington and in Nigeria. Their conclusion, he said, is that the situation in several regions—particularly Benue, Plateau, Southern Kaduna, the Middle Belt, and among moderate Muslim communities in the North—has escalated beyond normal security concerns.

He stated that the humanitarian impact of the violence has drawn significant global attention, with the U.S. no longer treating the matter as a political dispute but as a “structural crisis with far-reaching implications.”

Showunmi noted that the United States is willing to support Nigeria but expects the government to demonstrate sincerity and seriousness in addressing the crisis.

“They are not interested in political spin, denial, or internal blame-shifting,” he said, adding that Washington wants to see decisive action taken domestically.

He expressed concern that the Nigerian presidency may be underestimating the gravity of the situation, warning that current approaches are insufficient and could further widen the credibility gap between government messaging and the lived reality of citizens.

Showunmi stressed that the international community is increasingly aware of inconsistencies in Nigeria’s communication, noting that the real danger is “Nigeria losing control of its own narrative.”

The briefing also highlighted internal factors undermining national credibility, including fragmented messaging, avoidance of responsibility, rising ethnic rhetoric, and inconsistent communication. These issues, Showunmi warned, are eroding public trust and weakening Nigeria’s standing before the international community.

Showunmi urged the government to urgently recalibrate its communication strategy by adopting unified national messaging, acknowledging the crisis transparently, articulating a clear strategy, and reducing internal political noise. This, he said, is crucial to prevent misinformation from shaping foreign perceptions of Nigeria.

“If we lose control of the narrative and the reality on the ground continues to deteriorate, external actors will define the Nigerian situation for us,” he cautioned.

While expressing confidence in divine protection over the nation, Showunmi emphasized that faith must be matched with responsibility.

“This moment is more consequential than many realize,” he warned.

He called for clarity, unity, and decisive action in confronting Nigeria’s security and humanitarian challenges.

From Operation Rainbow, Benjamin Yaktal, representing the Director of Administration, commended the PPBA for convening the forum at a critical period. He urged stakeholders to take lessons back to their communities, stressing that grassroots vigilance and quick reporting remain the most effective tools for preventing crime during the holidays.

Also speaking, the President of the Plateau Peace Practitioners Network, Bali D. Nanman, praised PPBA for sustaining the monthly forum throughout the year. He reiterated the need for participants to cascade discussions and security tips to their various constituencies, especially as the Yuletide season often records increased criminal activities.

The Commissioner for Transportation, Davou Jatau Gyang, highlighted the prevalence of accidents, kidnappings, and attacks during festive periods. He called for stronger community awareness and a deeper culture of early warning at the grassroots to ensure a safer environment for all travelers and families.

The Keynote Speaker, Brig. Gen. M. S. Sule, representing the Commander of Operation Enduring Peace, Maj. Gen. E. F. Oyinlola, delivered an extensive presentation on “The Role of Operation Enduring Peace in Security Provisioning in Plateau State.” He outlined the mandate of the newly restructured operation, key operational changes from Operation Safe Haven, current deployment strategies, expectations for communities during the festive season, and practical pathways for community collaboration.

A second major presentation was delivered by Rev. Dr. Gideon Para-Mallam of the Funmi and Gideon Para-Mallam Foundation on “Strengthening Community Security Provisioning for the Festive Season and Beyond.” He emphasized peace education, trust-building, and inter-community collaboration.

Deepening community engagements

Sustained dialogue

Reporting suspicious individuals to security outfits

Maintaining vigilance across communities

The forum concluded with a renewed commitment to building a more secure, resilient, and peaceful Plateau as the festive season approaches.

The grand finale of the Enchanting Plateau Exhibition 2025 brought together artists, cultural leaders, government officials, and creative industry stakeholders to celebrate a groundbreaking year for Plateau State’s artistic community. The week-long exhibition, held at Odilins Event Center, showcased exceptional talent across visual arts and reinforced the state’s growing influence in Nigeria’s cultural landscape.

Jury Leader Dr. Jacob Enemona Onoja praised the exhibition as the first of its kind in Plateau State, applauding its structure and the impressive quality of entries. He urged artists to refine their finishing, scale, and overall artistic depth as they prepare for future competitions. Dr. Onoja outlined key evaluation criteria, artistic ingenuity, relevance to the theme “One,” technical proficiency, artist statements, and finishing, explaining that multiple assessment rounds informed jury decisions across painting, sculpture, ceramics, mixed media, textiles, and photography. He encouraged more creatives to enter next year, noting that the ₦500,000 prize per category should inspire higher artistic excellence.

Commissioner for Tourism, Culture, and Hospitality, Cornelius Doeyok, described the exhibition as a landmark cultural achievement. Representing the government of Governor Caleb Mutfwang, he reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to transforming artistic talent into economic value, “talent into cash.” Doeyok expressed amazement at the artworks displayed, saying they rival pieces found in global art hubs like Paris, Morocco, and the U.S. He stressed that Plateau possesses a cultural heritage “beyond measure” and argued that such events reclaim the state’s identity from global distractions. He promised a bigger and better edition next year, emphasizing the need to project Plateau’s creative excellence beyond its borders.

She thanked organizers for creating a platform that uplifts young creatives and explained that her winning artwork, Plateau Convergence, symbolizes unity among Plateau’s diverse tribes. By merging cultural symbols and landmarks into a single composition, she illustrated the exhibition’s theme of oneness and the beauty that emerges when people coexist peacefully.

Convener David Thomas delivered heartfelt closing remarks, expressing gratitude to dignitaries, government partners, and artists for their support. He emphasized that the vision of Enchanting Plateau is to ensure creatives are seen, heard, and appreciated without leaving the state. Thomas celebrated the progress made within just one year and reaffirmed that the coming editions, especially 2026, will be bigger, bolder, and more globally oriented. He thanked Governor Mutfwang for his unwavering support, affirming that “the world is waiting for Plateau’s talent.”

The Enchanting Plateau Exhibition 2025 concluded as a powerful testament to the state’s cultural richness, artistic excellence, and collective determination to build a thriving creative economy. With resounding endorsements from government officials, cultural leaders, and the artists themselves, the event set a new benchmark for artistic expression in Plateau State. It not only celebrated unity and creativity but also positioned the state for greater national and global recognition. As preparations for the 2026 edition begin immediately, stakeholders remain optimistic that the next chapter will be bigger, more inclusive, and even more impactful, propelling Plateau’s creatives onto the world stage.
