…Hails DSS, Military, MOPOL, Operation Rainbow For Restoring Peace
…Alleges Plot To Make State Ungovernable Ahead Of 2027
The Plateau Progressive Ambassadors (PPA) has passed a vote of confidence on Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, commending him for restoring peace, rebuilding infrastructure and re-uniting the people of the state.
In a press statement signed by its Chairman, Comrade Ayuba Dung, the group said its position followed a thorough independent assessment and on-the-ground research across the state.
According to the PPA, Governor Mutfwang has performed excellently well in security, infrastructural development and unity.
Governor Who Acted Decisively
The group noted that from the day he took the oath of office, the Governor was confronted with serious security challenges while simultaneously battling a rigorous election petition tribunal case.
“Despite these enormous distractions, he stood firm, remained focused, and continued to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people of Plateau State,” the statement said.
The PPA specially commended the Department of State Services (DSS), the Mobile Police Force (MOPOL), the Nigerian Military and other sister security agencies for their professionalism, synergy and gallantry in confronting enemies of the state.
“The DSS, in particular, has worked relentlessly alongside the MOPOL and the Military to degrade criminal networks, foil attacks, and restore relative peace across many troubled communities,” it said.
Operation Rainbow Repositioned, Empowered
On the state’s security architecture, the PPA said Governor Mutfwang has repositioned, equipped and empowered Operation Rainbow with well-trained personnel, modern logistics and improved operational capacity for swift response to security threats.
It added that the Governor has also established high-profile security outfits and drone surveillance stations in 10 strategic locations across the state for real-time monitoring, early warning and rapid intervention.
“These efforts alone are enormous and speak volumes about a leader who is determined to secure his people,” the group said.
“We therefore wonder how anyone can sit back and claim that the Governor has done nothing in terms of security. We are not speaking as politicians, but as Plateau Progressive Ambassadors who have carried out thorough research and assessments.”
Plateau Is Rising
Beyond security, the PPA said the Governor has matched his peace efforts with robust infrastructural development across the 17 Local Government Areas.
“Roads are being constructed and rehabilitated, schools are being revitalised, healthcare facilities are being upgraded, water projects are being revived, and the state capital is wearing a new look,” the statement said.
“These projects are not just physical structures; they are bridges of unity, economic enablers, and proof that governance is working for the ordinary Plateau man and woman.”
The group said Plateau is no longer defined by crisis headlines, but by construction sites, development projects and renewed hope.
One Plateau, One People
On unity, the PPA said Governor Mutfwang has deliberately pursued a policy of inclusivity, fairness and togetherness, governing as one people irrespective of tribe, religion, political affiliation or local government.
Through sustained engagement with community leaders, traditional rulers, religious leaders, youth and women groups, he has healed old wounds, rebuilt trust and re-united the people under one common purpose: Peace, Unity and Progress.
“Plateau State, the Home of Peace and Tourism, is gradually regaining its pride of place as a land where all can live, worship, farm, do business and thrive together,” it said.
Alarm Over Alleged Sabotage
The PPA, however, expressed concern that as elections and campaigns draw nearer, attacks have resurfaced, just as they did when Governor Mutfwang assumed office.
It alleged that some of the security challenges are politically motivated — a calculated attempt to make the state ungovernable, discredit the Governor and paint him as a leader who cannot protect the state.
The group called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, the Service Chiefs and all intelligence agencies to take note of the alleged security sabotage and to investigate calculated attempts to create crisis so that a state of emergency will be declared in Plateau State.
It also called on all non-state actors fuelling insecurity, whether politically motivated or otherwise, to retrace their steps forthwith.
Vote Of Confidence
“Despite these sponsored challenges, Governor Mutfwang is still performing creditably well across all sectors. He has shown capacity, commitment and sincerity of purpose,” the PPA said.
“Governor Mutfwang deserves the support of all well-meaning Plateau people and a vote of confidence, which we hereby pass on him.”
The group further urged President Tinubu to continue to support the Governor, and called on Plateau sons and daughters at home and in the diaspora to join hands to sustain the security, infrastructural and unity gains.
“Governor Mutfwang is securing Plateau, rebuilding Plateau, and uniting Plateau. Together, let us move Plateau forward,” the statement concluded.
