The Silent Cry  Of Plateau State: A Demand For  Inclusive Governance

Yakubu Busari

To His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR

We, the Voice of Plateau Youths, urge you to appoint a Minister for Plateau State without delay. The state’s absence from the executive council since Senator Simon Bako Lalong’s ascension to the Senate is a pressing concern. Plateau State deserves a voice in government due to its rich cultural heritage and diverse population.

Prince Aliyu Yakubu Ajang (BRAVO) Convener: Plateau Progressive Youths in a statement made available to this medium in Jos says ; The lack of representation undermines democratic principles. Despite religious tensions during the 2023 elections, Plateau State delivered 307,195 votes, securing your second-place finish and popular vote victory. We expect more.

We bring to your attention dedicated individuals on the Plateau who have worked tirelessly for the nation’s well-being. You know and trust these individuals, who have earned your confidence through their dedication. We urge you to consider them for the Minister position, as they possess the necessary integrity, expertise, and dedication.

With your knowledge of these individuals, you can make an informed decision benefiting both Plateau State and the nation. Their appointment would demonstrate your commitment to good governance and the welfare of all Nigerians.

We implore you to address this injustice by appointing a qualified Minister for Plateau State. This would restore faith in government and provide a platform for Plateau’s citizens to contribute to national development.

A Minister from Plateau State would address the unique needs and aspirations of its citizens and foster unity between the state and federal government.

We believe this matter is urgent and cannot be ignored. We urge you to take swift action and demonstrate your commitment to good governance and the welfare of all Nigerians, regardless of state, region, ethnicity, religion, or class.
