A Short Life's Lesson From Plateau...

The Governor-Elect of Plateau State, Mr Caleb Mutfwang, was elected as Mangu Local Government Chairman in Plateau on February, 25th, 2014 and sworn in on March 3, 2014, but was removed from office by Governor Lalong on July 5, 2015, barely two months after he took over as governor.

Lalong, who won election on the platform of the APC had, on June 5, 2015 sacked all the seventeen elected PDP Chairmen who still had more than a year to serve out their two-year tenure and replaced them with Interim Management Committees. The Chairmen were angry and dragged the governor to court to allow them complete their tenure but the governor stood his ground and forced them out of office.

Mr. Caleb Mutfwang, who is now the Governor-Elect of Plateau State, became the face of the advocacy by the sacked LG Chairmen to reclaim their offices after he was made their spokesperson.

But as fate will turn out, the same Governor Lalong, who forced him out of office in 2015, will be handing over to him as the new governor of Plateau State, come May 29, 2023.

This classroom called life is full of lessons to make us humble in power, but many have refused to learn. They live and trample on others as if they know tomorrow, including those whose name means, "No one knows tomorrow."

They that have ears, let them hear!

Yours sincerely,
*Citizen Agba Jalingo*

2023: Catholics Berate Lalong Over Attempt To Drag Pope Into Politics

August 11, 2022  Concerned Catholics in Nigeria have called for the suspension of Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong for dragging the name of Pope into local politics that has nothing to do with the Church. According to the group, Lalong should be punished for bringing the name of Pope and the Catholic Church to disrepute while giving his reasons for accepting to serve as Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council. Speaking as a press conference in Abuja addressed by National Convener/President, Dr Ben Amodu, said the concerned Catholics in Nigeria are alarmed that Lalong would elect to throw caution into the wind by dragging the revered Catholic Church into local politics in Nigeria for whatever it is worth. “The reference to the Pope in his statement for accepting to serve as the Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council was made in poor taste and a puerile attempt to drag the Catholic Church into a matter that has no bearing with the
