Coalition Of Christians On The Plateau Accuses Lalong And Dati Of Endorsing Satanic And Ungodly Behaviour

We the Coalition of Christians on the  Plateau, have observed with keen interest the political happenings on the Plateau and the nation at large, and we could have maintained our silence, but if we remain silent, it will portray the Plateau people entirely, as a state endorsing the ungodly and satanic behavior of Governor Simon Bako Lalong and his former Commissioner for Lands, Survey, and Town Planning, who is currently the Chief of Staff to the Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council in the person of Hon. Yakubu Dati.

The Chairman, Samson Pam , and Nicholas Fabian, Secretary of the group, said of recent, the former Speaker of the House of Reps, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, made a categorical statement that “a vote to APC by a Christian is a wasted vote”. Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara and Hon. David Babacir Lawal, people know, has worked hard for Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to become the APC Presidential candidate. Unfortunately, after rejecting their wise counsel, the Presidential candidate went ahead to pick the same faith for Vice President, they immediately raised an observation, knowing fully well of the current situations and the secularity challenges that is bedeviling our country. Against all odds, what they were doing is to keep our unity and the peaceful coexistence of our great nation, Nigeria, as a multicultural and secular nation.

They were never hypocritical nor, economical with words, but rather they were straightforward in presenting their facts to all that cares to hear, as people that know the system.

We considered these personalities, heroes of the moment. As Coalition of Christians on the Plateau, we wish at this juncture to bring out analytically, the persons of His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Simon Bako Lalong and that of his Chief of Staff, Yakubu Dati.

1. Rt. Hon. Simon Bako Lalong is a seasonal backstabber/liar, whose records have shown that he has betrayed and backstabbed so many amongst them are; His Excellency Alh. Abubakar Atiku, who sponsored his campaign in 2015. He equally stabbed Alh. Yahaha Kwande, who introduced him to Alh. Abubakar Atiku. He did not end on that, but also betrayed and stabbed Rt. Hon. Rotimi Ameachi, by immediately rushed to accept the APC Presidential DG  of Campaign without due consultation from his boss for his selfish gains.

He stabbed His Excellency Chief Joshua Chibi Dariye, the former Governor of Plateau State, who despite all odds made him the Plateau State Speaker and also the state Governor, but yet, Lalong wished Dariye to remain perpetually in prison custody.

The same Lalong spearheaded the removal of Comr. Adams Oshomole from the APC National Party Chairman for the fact that he is a die-hard supporter and on the front burner of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. But today, the same Governor Lalong is reaping from where he did not sow let alone to know that, he did not support either Senator Abdullahi Adamu or Sen. Almakura for the current party seat.

This is a person that does not believe in equity, fairness, and integrity, but rather believes that money can give him everything he wants, even if it means picking monies from State coffers. Even Her Excellency, Hon. Dame Pauline Tallen, his kins, who gave him the last lifeline of becoming a Governor by dialing the powers that be for INEC to declare him in 2015, he backstabbed her and fought her in an attempt to stop her from becoming the minister she is today. Hon. Latep Dabang that gave Lalong the Political name and relevance was backstabbed and given a bad name in return as reciprocated for his good gesture.

2. Since betrayal has become part of him, it was clear to us that, even Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu the APC Presidential candidate, can still remember how Governor Simon Bako Lalong, fought him from becoming the candidate.

After declaring rightly, that, Plateau APC delegates belong to Rt. Hon. Rotimi Ameachi, went ahead to make sure that, none of the Plateau delegates voted for Bola Ahmed Tinubu, but with the help of the Plateau state APC  gubernatorial aspirants that Bola Ahmed Tinubu got Twenty- six votes, out of the fifty- delegate from Plateau.

Despite knowing that these aspirants were the ones that loved and worked for Tinubu, Lalong ensured that none of them is a member of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) and he proudly beat his chest to say he did that ungodly act.

3. Considering the PCC appointment, six persons were from the southern zone of Plateau, while five out of the six, were all from Shendam his LGA, and his ethnic tribe Geomai. Only one is from Wase LGA in the person of The Deputy Speaker House of Representatives in the person of Rt. Hon Maje.

And only two each were from the central and northern zones of Plateau that produced the highest registered voters in the state and still determine who wins the Governorship of the state. Come to look at it further, none of the APC founding fathers from Plateau were considered members of the PCC, and even those that spearheaded the primaries of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, were excluded from the list, which to Lalong he considers a payback period of not obeying him when he asked them not to vote Tinubu at the primaries.

All that Lalong wants from Tinubu is his money and the political appointment if the party wins the presidential ticket.

4, Amongst many of Barr Simon Lalong serial betrayals, he was rescued by His Excellency, Bola Tinubu,, when they were arrested by EFCC, with him and others, because they were nabbed for extortion of billions of naira which was found with them, yet it was easy for Lalong to defected from AC to PDP and later to Labour party without recurs to inform His Excellency, Bola Tinubu, despite that he was fighting Tinubu not to succeed in his Ambition. How can such a serial betrayal be trusted; this is a big question ❓ that needs an answer. Our warning to PCC is not to rely on such character.

5, How can Lalong prove to us that he loves Buhari, while all those that suffered for president Buhari in Plateau state were not given any appointment for the eight years of his tenure? Rather, the person that called president Buhari a Boko Haram member is today rewarded on the plateau with the appointment of DG of the Industrial Training Fund (ITF). On the side of Hon. Yakubu Datti, there is a saying that, “Birds of the same feathers flogged together”.

While he was the PRO Aviation, he made sure Buhari as the then CPC presidential candidate was denied landing access at the Lagos International Airport.

Secondly, he too betrayed Dariye which brought him up for Jang, and also betrayed Jang for Lalong, meaning he can betray and backstab anybody in the quest for money and power. No wonder, Lalong brought him closer as chief of staff to enable them to perpetrate there their seasonal character of betrayal and dirty dealings. When compared with such a personality of Rt. Hon . Yakubu Dogara, Dati should know that he does not have the infantry to castigate Rt. Hon. Dogara on social media for his well-articulated position of Muslim – Muslim ticket and even calling it an “ember of Religious Crisis” has Dati forgotten what that ticket is already brewing in Nigeria? As Christian vanguards of the church, who believe in the course of Hon.yakubu Dogara and Hon.Babacir Lawal, we want to put it in categorical terms to Yakubu Dati that, we are disappointed in him and his boss. This singular act of Dati kept ringing in our mind, if Dati is truly a Christian in the first place, not to talk of asking if he is truly an ECWA member as he claimed to be. Because for Lalong his boss, already his self-seeking recognition has disenfranchised him from the Pope and the entire catholic faithful due to his careless and unguided utterances.

In conclusion, to us as coalition of Christians on the Plateau, there is no comparison between light and darkness or between Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara vs. Yakubu Dirty. As for us, we want to tell the whole world and call on all Christians in Nigeria and Diaspora and even our good Muslim friends that believe in this course, to pray for the course of Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara and Hon. David Babacir Lawal, to see the light of the day .
