Some Plateau indigenes living in the United States charged the Governor-elect, Mr Caleb Mutfwang of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Tuesday with providing effective and inclusive government that reflects the will of the people.
The advice was given by the Plateau State Association USA, Inc. (PSA-USA) in a congratulatory letter signed by its National President, Dr Barth Shepkong, and addressed to Mr Mutfwang.
The letter was copied and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
It reads: “On behalf of the members of Plateau State Association USA Inc (PSA-USA), please accept our sincere congratulations on your success in being elected as governor and deputy governor of Plateau State in the just-concluded 2023 Gubernatorial elections.
“It is time to come together to build a better, united, and more inclusive Plateau State.
“The future belongs to us all. Let us work together to make it what we desire.
“The people of Plateau have spoken! We are aware that your service to the state does not come without sacrifice.
“We wish you God’s guidance, strength, direction, and the wisdom to deliver on your mandate to the people of Plateau.
“We look forward to an effective and inclusive government that reflects the will of the people.
“Best wishes and we look forward to working with you.”
The group also congratulated the Labour Party governorship candidate, Dr Patrick Dakum and his deputy, Dr Nentawe Yilwatda, for running exemplary campaigns.
NAN reports that Mutfwang polled 525,299 votes to defeat his closest rival and the candidate of the ruling APC, Yilwatda, who polled 481,370 votes. (NAN)
