PLATEAU PDP ELECTS CHIEF RAYMOND DABO AS STATE CHAIRMAN ALONGSIDE 38 OTHERS

...Governor Mutfwang Declares the Exercise as the Beginning of PDP’s Victory March Towards 2027

The Plateau State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday elected Chief Raymond Dabo as its new State Chairman, alongside 38 other members of the State Executive Committee, to steer the affairs of the party toward victory in the 2027 General Elections.

The keenly followed State Congress, held at the WAYE Foundation, Doi-Du, was conducted under a peaceful and transparent atmosphere in line with the constitution of the party. The exercise produced new officers who immediately took their oath of office.

Announcing the results, the Chairman of the Electoral Committee, Hon. David Embughadu, declared that Chief Raymond Dabo emerged as the new State Chairman with 2,162 votes, while Engr. Gyang Tanko polled 2,102 votes as Deputy Chairman. Mr. Michael Dachom was elected State Secretary and Dr. Felix Choji clinched the position of Publicity Secretary among others.

In his address to the delegates, the Executive Governor of Plateau State, His Excellency, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, described the congress as a milestone in the history of the party, noting that it reflected unity, maturity, and loyalty among members.

“Since I joined the PDP, this is the first State Congress we are holding without a contest. With this, we have demonstrated our commitment, loyalty, and readiness to work together as one family. I sincerely thank all the local governments for their cooperation,” Governor Mutfwang stated.

He acknowledged that although the zoning process initially generated some disagreements, the peaceful resolution of those differences underscored the maturity and cohesion within the party. The Governor also appreciated aspirants who stepped down in the interest of unity and the greater good of the PDP.

“I want to thank those who may feel shortchanged or believe they were not given the chance they deserved. Because of the common interest of the PDP, you chose peace over grievance. I am confident that this new set of executives will lead our party to victory in 2027. The time for exclusion is over, our focus now is unity. I assure you that those who are truly for us will stay. Together, we will approach 2027 as one united family,” he added.

On the issue of alleged defections, Governor Mutfwang expressed optimism and confidence in the resilience of the PDP in Plateau State.

“I heard that some people have left. We are waiting to see the day they will go with the crowd they claim to have. Plateau is PDP, and PDP is Plateau. We will remain connected to the people and continue working for their collective good,” he emphasized.

The Governor commended the outgoing Caretaker Committee led by Hon. Chris Hassan for their dedication and remarkable achievements, noting that their sacrifices would not be forgotten.

In his valedictory remarks, Hon. Hassan expressed appreciation to his team for their resilience and commitment, recalling that under their stewardship, the PDP produced a Governor, two Senators, five Members of the House of Representatives, and sixteen Members of the Plateau State House of Assembly in the 2023 elections until the Court decided.

The Chairman of the Electoral Committee, Hon. David Embughadu, also expressed satisfaction with the peaceful conduct of the exercise and praised the delegates for their discipline and overwhelming support for the leadership of Governor Mutfwang.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was duly represented at the congress to observe proceedings and ensure full compliance with electoral guidelines.

In his acceptance speech, the newly elected State Chairman, Chief Raymond Dabo, thanked the delegates for the confidence reposed in him and promised to provide transparent, inclusive, and accountable leadership, especially in the conduct of future party primaries.

His Excellency Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang being honoured to join His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on an official state visit to the Federative Republic of Brazil. The high-level engagement provided a unique opportunity for Nigeria to strengthen bilateral relations with Brazil and explore new frontiers of cooperation, particularly in trade, agriculture, and industrial development.

As part of the visit, the Governor participated in strategic discussions and the signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) designed to boost our national economy and create avenues for shared prosperity between our two countries.

For us in Plateau State, the visit carried even greater significance. Recently, Plateau was chosen as one of six states in Nigeria to host a regional hub of the Green Imperative $1.1 billion Project under the Nigeria–Brazil partnership. This landmark initiative is set to revolutionize agro-industrialisation, enhance food security, and create jobs for our people.

The Governor in his words said, he remain committed to ensuring that Plateau fully leverages this partnership, positioning our state as a hub for agricultural transformation not only in Nigeria but across Africa.

Together with President Tinubu and other senior government officials, we worked towards building strong international alliances that will translate into tangible benefits for our people.

COMR. DAVID MANCHA SALUTES JOS-SOUTH CONSTITUENCY AND THE PEOPLE OF PLATEAU STATE.

Happy New Month of August

Democracy: they say, is the government of the people, by the people and for the people.

Let me simply elaborate this definition according to my views, I would say, democracy is best describe as a mandate emanating from the people, to enhance the confidence in leadership, with good conscience to deliver and achieve a collective goal or purposes for the progress and interest of a given community.

I am Comr. David D. Mancha, one of the illustrious Sons of the Berom Nation, hail's from Zek, Za'ang District of Jos South Local government of Plateau State of Nigeria.

I was introduced into politics by Late Distinguished Sen. GNS Pwajok in 2003; and I have been actively engaged in the Plateau State political scene since 2007.

I served the Plateau State government during the Da Sen. Jonah David Jang's administration from 2007-2015, which remains historically an indelible mark over the years; and I'm still actively serving and contributing my quarter to ensure that the Plateau Project thrive securely, on the move under GOD for greater heights in this present administration of His Excellency, Barr. Caleb Manasseh MUTFWANG the Executive Governor of Plateau State.

To be victorious as a member representing Jos-South in the Plateau State House of Assembly come 2027, will be a tremendous achievement as it requires due diligence, experience and expertise in collaboration with the Plateau State Government and our community's engagements to effectively enhance the unity, peace, security, successful economy stability and progressive development of Jos-South constituency and Plateau State as well.

I have also identified some key pressing challenges, such as; peaceful coexistence, security, human capacity building, infrastructural development, healthcare, education, and economic stability in our community; in which by the grace of GOD Almighty, I will be strategic on these plans for lasting solutions, that can stand the teste of time, if given me the mandate or opportunity.(most especially, according to the modern paradigm shift).

I would like to encourage and emphasize the need to have town hall meetings, where we can have open door policies for public discussions with elders, stakeholders and members of our community, in other to strike out a balance in reaching out to these key points, as these present challenges affects our community, state and national security.

I would also like to emphasize, encourage and ensure the well-being and welfare of our people by organizing a reburst human capacity development program support. Our people are known with tin mining businesses, but by the grace and will of the Almighty GOD, I would like to engage our Youths in the areas of skill acquisition training activities, creative ideologies on innovations; and also engaging women in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in our community. These training empowerment programs and SMEs play a vital pivotal role in most economies, contributing significantly to job creation and economic growth. It will also diversify the economy in the areas of transparency to improve efficiency in generating sufficient financial income in the quest to alleviate poverty and also reduce the rate of illicit drugs abuse and other social devices amongst our Youths in the community today.

The issue of insecurity has been very challenging; and so therefore, with my wealth of experience in the security sector, together in collaboration with the Plateau State Government and other conventional and non-conventional security agencies, will work in synergy to ensure lasting peace is restored for a conducive environment in order to establish effective business activities thrive, thereby increase our Gross Domestic Products G.D.P; especially, in this hard times of economic down turn we are facing daily in the Nation. This proactive measures will enhance our economics system to effectively thrive in the areas of circulation of money in exchange for goods and services within our community. With these, you'll all agree with me that this will boost the economic system within the Jos-South community.

Finally, It is for our collective purposes to ensure the success of this mandate; and I promise to always remain ever grateful that you find me worthy by vesting this responsibility to deliver the dividends of democracy as one indivisible people. And I assure you as a servant, that I will sincerely and faithfully be accountable to serve you all. 

Further more, I would like to seriously state categorically clear here for us to note and also understand that I am for all; no matter what is your religious, tribal, or political affiliation.
So, let's put all hands on deck and push away our differences aside, remain resolute and focus more on our goals as one indivisible people of Jos-South Local government area of Plateau State and Nigeria under GOD. And by the special grace and will of GOD Almighty, I will never disappoint this massive support come 2027. 

Finally, I assure you that together, these anticipating achievements  of our constituency will be something great to reckon with; and will serve as a model for others to follow.

Thank you and GOD bless us all in Jesus Christ Mighty Name Amen 🙏

‎PLATEAU STATE GOVERNOR APPROVES LANDMARK PROJECTS TO ADVANCE DEVELOPMENT AGENDA‎

‎Plateau State Governor, His Excellency Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, has given approval of transformative projects aimed at reinforcing the administration’s resolve to build a prosperous, people-centered Plateau.

‎

‎The approval was granted on Thursday, July 31, 2025 will ensure a new ediface for the Ministry of Justice, Water Infrastructure, Implementation of Health Policies, Solar Streetlights, and Market Roads as top agenda.

‎

‎Briefing journalists after the meeting, the Commissioner for Information,Rt. Hon. Joyce Ramnap,mni said the approvals cut across key sectors including justice, water resources, health, infrastructure, and public utilities. She emphasized that the council’s decisions were driven by the need for “strategic growth and sustainable development across the three senatorial zones.”

‎

‎“Council took decisions that are not only far reaching but critical to the health, security, and economic well-being of Plateau people,” Ramnap said.

‎

‎Top on the agenda was the approval of a ₦6 billion contract for the construction of a befitting Ministry of Justice office complex. 

‎

‎The council also approved critical water-related projects. These include the procurement of water treatment chemicals worth ₦1.293 billion for the Ministry of Water Resources, and the construction of three isolated water schemes in Angware, Fursom, and Fobor at a cost of ₦294 million.

‎

‎Ramnap explained that the projects are part of a broader strategy to tackle water scarcity and prevent waterborne diseases across the state.

‎

‎“These schemes are deliberately sited in water-stressed areas in Jos East. They reflect our policy of inclusive development,” she noted.

‎

‎In a coordinated response to sanitation challenges and recent cholera outbreaks, the council approved the construction of public toilets across major public areas, markets, and office complexes. The project will be jointly executed by the Ministries of Health and Water Resources.

‎

‎“We are taking sanitation seriously,” said Ramnap. “This initiative will align Plateau State with global best practices on open defecation eradication and improve public hygiene.”

‎

‎Another key approval was the procurement, installation, and maintenance of 129-watt solar-powered streetlights, targeted at dark spots across Jos metropolis, including the expressway leading to Yakubu Gowon Airport.

‎

‎“We are determined to light up Jos and improve night-time security. This project is a game-changer,” said the Information Commissioner.

‎“The governor has mandated that critical infrastructure corridors must not be left in darkness.”

‎

‎In order to address road congestion and poor infrastructure in urban markets, the council approved the asphalting of internal roads and car park at the popular Bukuru Market in Jos South LGA. The ₦180 million project will be executed through direct labor as a cost-saving measure.

‎

‎“We are not just awarding contracts. We are also employing efficient means like direct labor to stretch our resources and reach more communities,” Ramnap explained.

‎

‎Ramnap reiterated the governor’s commitment to “delivering real dividends of democracy” to the people of Plateau State.

‎

‎“Each project reflects the administration’s resolve to touch lives, restore dignity, and revive public trust".

‎

‎According to the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barr. Philemon Audu Daffi, the edifice will consolidate all justice-related parastatals under one roof, including the Law Reform Commission, Office of the Public Defender, Anti-Land Grabbing Committee, Anti-Human Trafficking Committee, and Citizens Mediation Centers.

‎

‎ “Take away justice and what you find is chaos. Plateau is ripe for an edifice that reflects the seriousness of governance,” said Barr. Daffi.

‎“This is not just a building; it’s a symbol of the rule of law, a hub for policy formulation, and a sanctuary for the defense of civil liberties.”

‎

‎He emphasized that the building would serve as a deterrent to land-grabbing and human trafficking, while reducing litigation through mediation mechanisms.

‎

‎The Commissioner for Health confirmed that these efforts complement the State’s upcoming Council on Health meeting scheduled for August 18–21 at Crispan Hotel, Jos.

‎

‎“We will assess our progress, evaluate gaps, and draw up a health blueprint for the next five years,” he stated.

‎“All stakeholders in the health sector, including WHO, UNICEF, and IHVN, will participate. It’s about building a resilient health system.”

‎

‎Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang led administration will continue to establish citizen centered projects for the growth and development of the state.
