By Kingsley Chukwuka

Plateau Inter-Religious Youths Council on Wednesday appealed to a Plateau businessman, Chief Kefas Ropshik, owner of Kefiano Autos to contest the 2023 governorship election in Plateau State.

The faith based youths said the business man has visionary leadership qualities  and has philanthropic activities to impact positively on citizens.

Chairman of the Group, Nabal Dagin made this known while speaking with newsmen in Jos.

He said “We the Plateau Interreligious Youth Council call on Chief Ropshik to contest for the position of the Governor of Plateau State to improve our infrastructure, bring investments using his global network.

“We are appealing to all patriotic citizens and stakeholders in Plateau State to ensure the realization of Ropshik’s election as Governor of Plateau State in 2023.

“Being a man who God has raised from a humble background he understands the predicaments of the poorest of the poor and the most vulnerable among us.”

The group described Ropshik as a man with human feelings who sponsored the medical treatment of over 59,000 poor people and 2,900 persons with complicated surgeries who could not afford the cost.

“He facilitated the release of 127 inmates from the Jos correctional facility who were languishing in jail for minor case or have been granted bail but could not afford to pay fines. This intervention secured the release of these inmates who are now being productive in society.

“Kefas has brought succour to over 2,000 widows that have been direct beneficiaries of his food support programme in the 3 states of Plateau, Taraba and Benue where he was born”.

Dagin, explained that with the laudable intervention programmes carried out by

Ropshik, the Group has thrown it weight behind him and would put in place political structures for his emergence.

“We are calling on patriotic citizens of Plateau State to help us plead with Mr. Ropshik to come and contest for the Governor of Plateau State; having him as a Governor will restore the hope and participation of intelligent young people in governance.

“This will boost the economy and peace of Plateau State as a leader with all sterling leadership qualities, highly knowledge of E-commerce, an ardent believer in global best practices, a peace builder, a unifier, a philanthropist and a lover of humanity”, the Group said.
