“We started this project together with you, you saw the important of the project and we know what redemption under Governor Jonah David Jang did to the people of Plateau State which you contributed to it success.
“God Almighty has brought a Governor in waiting to clean all the mess that has taken place in Plateau, I want to say that this is the best time that we will help the people of Plateau State by correcting the ills and the Berom people play a very pivotal role in decision making in Plateau.”
Hassan said it is on record that anyone who is contesting Governorship election in Plateau and does not have the support of Plateau North should not think of winning that election.
“When you talk about Northern zone, the Berom people occupied strategic place. We are pleading that the vote you gave PDP in the previous years should be repeated in 2023.”
Hassan explained that the PDP conducted the most transparent and credible party primaries, devoid of rancour and manipulation; unlike other political parties whose primaries were shrouded in crisis.
He appealed to those who contested the PDP primaries and lost to joint hands with the party and the candidates to salvage Plateau in 2023.
“We should team up and work together in the spirit of Plateau State, you can see where we are today, in the comity of nations, Plateau State is nowhere to be found and the only way to correct this ill is to support Caleb Mutfwang to be Governor of Plateau State in 2023.” He stated.
Hassan added that PDP was found based on the ideology and principles of Plateau people and urged them to do everything within the ambit of the law to protect the party which was bequeathed to them by forefathers.
The PDP Chairman, Plateau North, Hon. Davou Mang said the zone will galvanized support among the people to deliver Caleb Mutfwang in 2023.
He appreciated Mutfwang for picking one of their own, Hon. Josephine Piyo as his running mate and assured him of the support of PDP in Plateau North.
“We do not have any other political party in Plateau North, PDP is the only party that was formed based on the ideology of Plateau man, therefore, we will put our vote in one political party and that is the PDP.” He stated.
