Lengmang disclosed this on Friday during a dinner put together to bid farewell to General Ali who has been appointed Commander Operation Hada Kai in the North East and showered accolades on the role played by the Military officer to stabilize peace in the state.
He said Ali came, saw, and conquer by winning the trust and confidence of the Plateau people through the return of displaced persons to their ancestral homes in Jong community, Barkin-Ladi, and fostering peaceful co-existence between the natives in most parts of Plateau and the Fulani.
“Plateau people will continue to remember you for good, you did your work professionally that earned the state the current peace. I believed it is because of your achievements in Plateau that you have been appointed to serve on a higher level, I know you did not lobby for it.”
“General Ali did not just get to where we are today without making a sacrifice, he passed through alot of difficulties but he remain focus and firm using non kinetic approach to win the heart of the people.”
