The Plateau
Initiative for Development and Advancement of the Natives, PIDAN , the umbrella
body of all the indigenous ethnic Development Associations in Plateau state has
congratulated Barr. Simon Bako Lalong on his re-election as Governor of the
state.
In its
congratulatory statement signed by its PRO, Stephen Sarki Musa , PIDAN described
the reelection of Governor Simon Bako Lalong as God destined, and attributed
his success to his humility and disposition toward good governance.
"Your
success at the polls is a proof of your humility, the good leadership you
provided which is humane, kind, friendly
and devoid of vindictiveness, as well as your disposition towards good
governance", PIDAN said in the message,
adding that " this could be attested in the peaceful manner, the
citizens conducted themselves throughout the periods of campaigns and
elections".
PIDAN
commended the citizens for their peaceful conducts and said that their actions
justified the clarion calls PIDAN had made in that respect.
"We are
proud of Plateau citizens for their peaceful conducts, which ranked the state as
first among equals, since no single case of violence was recorded", PIDAN
said, adding that, such peace was achieved because of friendly disposition of
the people which is built on their desire and believe of being their neighbor’s keeper.
The organization
further called on the Governor to look at his first tenure deeply with the view
to correcting noticeable lapses.

It further
commended the Governor for identifying and attributing his success to the
efforts of the citizens irrespective of their divides.
PIDAN urged
the Governor to ensure he keeps to his campaign promises as well as equity in
the distribution of amenities and appointments to cover the entire Local
Governments and the respective ethnic nationalities that constitute the state.
The statement
appealed to the citizens to keep on praying for the success of the
administration and the peace of the state.
PIDAN
further commended the Governor for ensuring relative peace returns within the
state but however called on the Government to review its security architecture
to include ways of tackling the issue of kidnapping, which seems to be a new
phenomenon. It also called on the citizens to support government efforts of
securing the state by reporting suspicious movements and persons to the appropriate
authorities.
