…Commends DSS, Military, MOPOL, Operation Rainbow For Restoring Peace
…Warns Against Politically Motivated Attacks To Make State Ungovernable
The Plateau Progressive Ambassadors (PPA), a socio-political group committed to the peace, unity and progress of Plateau State, has passed a vote of confidence on Governor 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 following a thorough independent assessment and on-the-ground research, Governor Mutfwang has performed excellently well in security, infrastructure and unity.
“A Governor Who Acted Decisively”
The PPA noted that from the day he took the oath of office, Governor Mutfwang was confronted with serious security challenges while simultaneously facing 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 group 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.
“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,” PPA said.
Operation Rainbow Repositioned, Empowered
The PPA said for the records, 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.
In addition, he has 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 — Infrastructure
Beyond security, PPA said Governor Mutfwang 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 under his leadership, Plateau is no longer defined by crisis headlines, but by construction sites, development projects and renewed hope.
One Plateau, One People
On unity, PPA said Governor Mutfwang has deliberately pursued a policy of inclusivity, fairness and togetherness, governing Plateau as one people irrespective of tribe, religion, political affiliation or local government.
Through robust progressive engagement and dialogue 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,” the group said.
Alarm Over Sabotage, Politically Motivated Attacks
The PPA expressed concern that now that elections and campaigns are around the corner, attacks have resurfaced, just as they did when Governor Mutfwang assumed office.
According to its findings, it is alleged that some of the security challenges are politically motivated, a calculated attempt to make the state ungovernable, to discredit the Governor and to 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 security sabotage and to investigate calculated attempts to create crisis so that a state of emergency will be declared in Plateau State.
It 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,” 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 called on President Tinubu to continue to support Governor Mutfwang, and on all 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.
