On Wednesday, the Plateau State Caucus in the National Assembly pledged to collaborate across party, tribal, and religious lines for the state’s development. Senator Diket Plang (APC-Plateau), the Caucus leader, emphasized this commitment at a welcome ceremony organized by the Plateau State Indigenes’ Forum in the National Assembly (PIFNASS) in Abuja.

Senator Plang assured attendees of the lawmakers’ dedication to restoring Plateau’s former glory and making it welcoming to all Nigerians and foreigners. “When we are here, we talk about Plateau and what we can take home; no matter your political party or tribe, the essence is Plateau, no matter religion or local governments, the emphasis is Plateau,” he stated.

He further stressed the need for unity, saying, “Plateau must rise again. It must be said that there is a Plateau, and when resources are being shared, we must collect our own and take it back home. We will provide a responsible, people-oriented, and fair representation of the people of Plateau.”

Plang encouraged PIFNASS members to guide lawmakers, especially newcomers, to contribute effectively to the state’s development. Rep. John Dafaan (APC-Plateau), speaking on behalf of the state’s House of Representatives members, echoed Plang’s sentiments, asserting that all legislators from Plateau are united and working towards the state’s best interests. He urged PIFNASS to partner with the caucus to bring the benefits of democracy to the people.

Earlier, PIFNASS President Caleb Danfulani highlighted the association’s mission to promote unity and enhance the well-being of its members, irrespective of party affiliation, tribe, or religion. “We should all work as a team to attract developmental projects to Plateau. This requires proper collaboration and lobbying with other legislators from neighboring states,” he said.

Dr. Paul Adiwu, Chairman of the organizing committee, reminded lawmakers that their role is a sacred trust. “We respectfully charge you to remain committed to the welfare, progress, and development of our state and nation. We have made considerable progress in the past and must continue to aspire for greater heights, ensuring that our actions benefit our communities,” he said.

He concluded with a call for unwavering support, collaboration, and dedication, urging everyone to carry forward the spirit of unity and service for a brighter and more prosperous future for Plateau State and Nigeria.

Wife of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Titi, has disclosed that her husband will tutor his vice on the art of politics if elected as Nigeria’s president in 2027.

Titi disclosed that Atiku may hand over to his deputy at the end of his tenure if elected president in 2027.

Atiku will be heading into the 2027 presidential election with former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, as his running mate.

However, in a viral video, Titi described the former vice president as a sellable material who will improve the living conditions of Nigerians.

According to Titi, Nigerians will yearn for him to run for a second term if elected president in 2027.

She said: “Atiku is a sellable material, that’s why I’m so proud of my husband. Atiku is not going to learn on the job and he is not a novice. By the time Atiku gets to the saddle, Nigerians will yearn for him to run for a second term. But he said he would do just one term, but Nigerians will yearn for him to come for a second term.

“Atiku doesn’t want Nigerians’ money, he just wants to give back to the society what the society has done for him because many people keep saying, ‘What is he looking for? Very soon he will be 80,’ but he wants to tutor children on how politics is being made.”

The wife of the ADC’s presidential candidate lamented that Nigeria’s economy is currently in shambles, adding that the country has not operated any budget since 2023 till date.

“Today we have no rule of law, nothing is working, our economy is in shambles. Right from 2023 up to date, there is no budget in Nigeria and I wonder how people are living, I wonder how people are eating.

“By the grace of God, when Atiku comes to the saddle, like I told you, people will yearn that he does a second term. By then, he would have tutored his deputy and maybe the deputy will take over from him,” she added.
