The Gamai Unity and Development Organization
(GUDO) has passed a vote of confidence and endorsed Governor Simon Lalong for a
second term in office as governor of Plateau State with a view to consolidating
the place of Plateau State among the comity of progressive state in Nigeria and
Muhammadu Buhari as president in the forth coming elections.

the National President of the organization Barr. Theodore Bala Maiyaki further
called on other tribes in the state to come out en-mass to support and re-elect

achieved describing it as overwhelming success in executing and completing so
many projects of sustainable impact in the state which it said include among
others, restoration of peace and security, policy of continuity and
inclusiveness, completion of many projects abandoned by previous government,
prompt payment of workers’ salaries and retirement benefits, numerous legacy
protects around the state, potato value chain rated as the best in Africa, construction
of township roads in the state, full accreditation of courses at the Plateau
State University, Bokkos, man power development and other skills acquisition
programmes. Other achievements by the Lalong led Government listed by GUDO
include; upgrading of Traditional institutions, employment of over 3,000
teachers to improve the state’s educational resources base and upgrading and
renovation of college of Arts Science and Remedial studies (CARST) Kurgwi, Quan
Pan.
Consequently, the organization called out to
other social-cultural organizations, friends of Gamai, ethno religious groups,
the organized private sector, various interest groups, labour unions, students,
organizations and groups, pressure groups, women and youth organizations to
come out en-masse to equally support its endorsement of Gov. Lalong in his
re-election bid so as to engender peaceful co-existence, co-operation and
development of Plateau State.

be law abiding during the forthcoming elections and called on independent
