[Abigail pereowei]

The momentum behind Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s re-election bid has continued to grow, as all 299 councillors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) across Plateau State have unanimously endorsed him for a second term in office.

The motion for endorsement was moved by Alhaji Adamu Sale Hassen, Councillor representing Gangare Ward in Jos North LGA and Deputy Chairman of the National Councillors Forum of Nigeria (Plateau State Chapter), and seconded by Hon. Noro Davou Dung of Ta-Hoss Ward, Riyom LGA. It was unanimously adopted by all councillors present.

Explaining their decision, the councillors said their support for Governor Mutfwang was based on his people-centered policies, developmental strides, and leadership style, which they noted had positively impacted lives across the state.

In his response, Governor Mutfwang expressed gratitude for the endorsement, urging councillors to remain steadfast in their grassroots representation.

“You have become councillors under an administration determined to improve the lives of the people of Plateau State,” the Governor said. “Our goal is to transform Plateau in every respect, and you are the vital link between government and the people. Take this responsibility seriously and stay connected to your wards.”

The Governor emphasized the need for synergy between the executive and legislative arms, describing councillors as “pillars of democracy at the grassroots.” He also encouraged them to mobilize for voter registration and engage traditional rulers, religious leaders, and community associations in strengthening Plateau’s political voice.

Chief of Staff Jeremiah Satmak commended the councillors for their role in monitoring and championing government projects in their wards, while Rt. Hon. Istifanus Mwansat, Special Adviser on Political Affairs, described the meeting as historic and a direct step towards deepening people-oriented governance.

The event, attended by top government officials including the Secretary to the State Government, Commissioners, Special Advisers, and leaders of the Nigerian Association of Councillors Forum, ended with renewed commitments from the councillors to collaborate with the executive in sustaining Plateau’s development agenda.
