A former Commissioner in Plateau State, Jude Dakur, has left the All Progressives Congress (APC) and moved to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

He also confirmed his plan to contest the 2027 governorship election in the state.

Dakur made this known on Sunday and the announcement came during a stakeholders’ meeting held in Kerang District, his hometown. The meeting had in attendance community elders, youth representatives, women groups, and his political allies.

At the gathering, he formally presented his decision to defect from the APC. He also used the moment to seek the support and understanding of his people as he begins a new political journey.

He said his decision to leave the APC was “informed by the need to pursue a people-oriented vision anchored on inclusiveness, sincerity, and effective governance.”

Dakur explained that his ambition goes beyond politics. He said it is driven by a desire to fix key challenges facing Plateau State. He stressed the need for leadership that listens and delivers results.

“My ambition is rooted in the desire to bring purposeful leadership and sustainable development to Plateau State. We must work together to restore confidence in governance and ensure that every part of the state feels the impact of good leadership,” Dakur said.

The former commissioner, widely known as the “Captain of the Plateau Faith Project,” called on residents of the state to unite. He said division along ethnic and political lines has slowed down progress.

He urged citizens to embrace peace and work together. According to him, development can only thrive in an atmosphere of unity and trust.

Dakur also highlighted the importance of security and equal opportunities. He said every community in Plateau must feel safe and included in government policies.

Several stakeholders who spoke at the meeting threw their weight behind him. They recalled his time in office and described it as impactful. They noted that his tenure was marked by transparency and accessibility.

According to them, Dakur maintained close contact with the grassroots. They said this helped build trust and confidence in his leadership.

The chairman of the stakeholders’ forum also offered prayers for him. He asked for divine direction as Dakur pursues his political ambition. He also prayed for success in the 2027 race.

As part of his engagements, Dakur visited Mangu. He paid a condolence visit to the family of the late Da. Y.M. Dapan. The visit, according to his aides, was to show solidarity and respect.

Customer Testimonial Highlights Why Mutual Benefits Assurance Stands Out

BY NKECHI NAECHE-ESEZOBOR—In a time when confidence in insurance is steadily growing, a satisfied customer of Mutual Benefits Assurance Plc is sharing his experience to encourage more Nigerians to embrace the value of protection and peace of mind.

Mr. Abdelhamid Abdelrahman of RAP Building Solutions Ltd recently applauded the company for its swift claims settlement and attentive customer service, describing his journey as clear evidence that insurance truly works when managed by a dependable provider.

Abdelrahman explained that his decision to insure his vehicles with the company was influenced by its strong reputation and visible presence within his business environment in Lagos. Easy access to one of its offices also gave him added confidence, allowing for seamless interaction and support whenever needed. Four years on, he remains a loyal customer.

He said: “I had my doubts at some point, thinking that because they are one of the oldest insurance companies, perhaps their service might not be as efficient. But when I had a vehicle claim in 2023, it was processed in no time.

He added that subsequent claims involving other vehicles in his fleet were handled just as efficiently, further strengthening his confidence in the company.

“Since then, I have felt that whenever I have a vehicle, I will always subscribe to their packages and services. Mutual Benefits may be one of the oldest, but they are still one of the most responsive insurance companies in Nigeria. Their response to customers’ questions and feedback is very fast. I have no regrets partnering with them,” he stated.

Abdelrahman also used the opportunity to encourage Nigerians who remain sceptical about insurance to reconsider their views.

“Many people believe insurance does not work in Nigeria, but it does. When the time comes to make a claim and it is handled smoothly, then you know insurance truly works,” he said.

Industry experts have repeatedly noted that prompt claims settlement remains one of the strongest indicators of trust and credibility in the insurance sector. According to analysts, customers are more likely to retain policies, renew coverage and recommend insurers when claims are paid quickly and transparently.

They explain that efficient claims management not only provides financial relief during difficult times but also helps improve public perception of insurance as a dependable financial safety net. In markets where scepticism exists, real customer experiences and timely claims payments often play a critical role in driving adoption.

Mutual Benefits Assurance Plc has consistently positioned prompt claims settlement as a core part of its customer promise, with billions of naira paid out monthly across life and general insurance categories.

As economic uncertainties continue to heighten the need for financial protection, stakeholders say insurers that deliver swift and seamless claims experiences are likely to enjoy stronger customer loyalty and wider market acceptance.
