Unity Stressed by Rep Musa Bagos as Key to Moving Plateau State Forward Following Divisive 2023 Elections

In his inauguration reception held at Tamarald event center in Jos on June 18, 2023, Dachung Musa Bagos, the Member representing Jos South/Jos East Federal Constituency, emphasized the significance of unity for the progress of Plateau State. The recent elections had resulted in deep divisions among the people of Plateau due to varying political interests.

Bagos, who is beginning his second term as a member of the House of Representatives, called for the new mandate to be built on unity, encouraging the active involvement of citizens and stakeholders within the constituency. He assured the public that his second term would be even more fruitful, stating, “We want to assure you that you will not regret this mandate.”

In the company of his beautiful wife, Rep Bagos expressed deep gratitude to his constituency for reelecting him, Bagos urged all supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state to unite and collaborate for the sake of success, which would translate into the dividends of democracy.

The legislator also addressed the unfortunate resurgence of violent attacks resulting in loss of life and property. He highlighted the lack of capacity of the previous administration, including the governor, to mobilize state policing to address such situations effectively. Bagos appealed to the Federal Government to respond promptly, apprehend the perpetrators, and restore peace and order in the state.

“We need state police, and the federal government should understand the gravity of the situation and take appropriate action. We demand the arrest of the perpetrators and justice for the communities that have endured these attacks,” Bagos asserted.

Anticipating his second term as the representative for Jos East/Jos South Federal constituency, Bagos assured his constituents of significant progress. He encouraged them to expect remarkable developments during his tenure.

Governor Caleb Mutwang of Plateau State, represented by Deputy Governor Ngo Josphine Piyo, congratulated Bagos on his reelection, commending the decision of the constituents based on his exemplary performance in the 9th assembly. The governor expressed confidence in Bagos’ ability to deliver even more as he begins his tenure in the 10th assembly, stating, “I know that you will do more, and the sky will be your limit.”

Governor Mutwang also extended condolences to the people of the state for recent unsettling events, urging them to remain resilient. He assured the public that the government was committed to doing everything within its power to restore peace to the affected areas.

The inauguration reception witnessed the presence of the newly elected Reps Member Peter Ibrahim Gyendeng, Barkin-Ladi/Riyom Federal Constituency, the Speaker, Deputy Speaker, and several members of the Plateau State House of Assembly. Dignitaries, royal fathers, party supporters, stakeholders, and well-wishers gathered in large numbers to celebrate the thanksgiving service of Hon. Dachung Musa Bagos, member representing Jos East/Jos South, at the National House of Assembly in Abuja.

The highlight of the occasion was a series of captivating performances by renowned gospel musicians, including Solomon Lange, Jeremiah Gyang, Jah Device, Dung Kaze, Mallam RazPhil, Jobb Manja, and Friday Jibo. The event was skillfully anchored by BigBlunt Morgan Tok.

Congratulations to Hon. Dachung Musa Bagos on his well-deserved position in the House of Representatives.

“We Still Have a Lot to Improve” — Busari Refuses to Get Carried Away After Flamingos’ 5-0 Rout

Flamingos head coach Akeem Busari has refused to get carried away by Nigeria’s emphatic start to the WAFU-B U-17 Girls’ Cup, insisting his players still have plenty to improve despite thrashing Niger Republic 5-0.

Nigeria began their campaign in Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire, in commanding fashion, with five different players finding the net as the defending champions secured three points and a clean sheet.

Captain Harmony Chidi opened the scoring in the 16th minute before Awawu Bashiru doubled the advantage before half-time.

The Flamingos then turned the contest into a rout late on, with Ohunene Sunday, Mary Dunstan and Ayomide Rotimi adding three more goals.

But Busari believes the scoreboard should not disguise the lessons his players still need to learn.

The coach expressed satisfaction with the result but maintained that Niger were not pushovers, adding that his team must continue improving as they prepare for tougher challenges.

His reaction fits with his pre-tournament position that the WAFU-B competition is about more than winning matches.

Busari had described the tournament as an important opportunity to identify the Flamingos’ strengths and deficiencies before the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco.

He also believes the standard of women’s youth football across Africa is rising rapidly, warning that African teams could become increasingly difficult opponents at major international competitions in the coming years.

For the Flamingos, therefore, five goals and three points represent an encouraging beginning rather than a finished product.

Nigeria’s next test comes against Ghana on Saturday, another World Cup-bound side, in what should provide Busari with a stronger indication of his team’s progress.

The message from the coach after a five-star opening was simple: enjoy the victory, but keep working — because the bigger tests are still ahead.
