Plateau PDP guber candidate promises not to witch-hunt, if elected

The gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Plateau State, Barrister Caleb Muftwang, has assured that if elected, his administration will not witch-hunt its predecessors but focus on correcting the mistakes of the past through reforms.

Speaking with newsmen on Monday in Jos, Plateau State, Muftwang said that the PDP-led administration in the state would reform the government processes in order to move the state forward.

“Let me say it, we are not coming in to witch hunt; we will not waste the precious mandate of our people on witch hunt. If there is a tradition of witch hunts in Plateau, we will break it.

“The people of Plateau should be rest assured that if elected, we would reform government processes, and if we found out in the course of the reform that certain things had been done wrong, we would ensure they were blocked and people should be able to correct the mistakes they have made in the past,” he said.

The gubernatorial candidate pointed out that since the PDP left power over seven years ago, Plateau State has lost its leadership, adding that the party is offering itself this time around to confront the myriad of problems confronting the state head-on.

He said, “We are capable and confident in our ability to provide the leadership that they want.” “We are more than ready; we would leave no stone unturned in the quest of achieving this.”

Barrister Muftwang, who posited that Plateau State is in debt to the tune of N200 billion, said with this debt, it is glaring that it is not going to be a tea party if elected but promised that the party would harness resources on the ground to move the state out of the woods.

“We are aware of the state of the Nigerian economy, plateau included, but this won’t deter us from using available resources to improve the lot of our people.” We are going to look inward to be able to reposition our state. “The leadership will make the environment conducive for investors to come in for genuine investment,” he said.
