“My aspiration is partly motivated by the burning desire to sustain and possibly expand the frontiers of the legacies of the rescue administration in the state led by Governor Simon Lalong.

“Governing a state that is as diverse as Plateau State requires one with good sense of tact, strategic and critical thinking to build robust social cohesion and harmony among the diverse social elements as a necessary precondition for sound and effective governance,” he said.
