“PDP belongs to the people of Plateau; it is a platform they have identified with since 1999. It is imperative to have the body of elders functioning, as their wisdom is invaluable in guiding the party,” Governor Mutfwang stated.
He further urged the elders to demonstrate leadership and provide sound counsel for peace to prevail as the party prepares for the congress.
In his remarks, the Chairman of the PDP Elders’ Forum, Chief Raymond Dabo, expressed gratitude for the governor’s leadership and reiterated the elders’ commitment to supporting the party’s progress.
