The People’s Democratic Party (PDP), governorship candidate in Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Muftwang has taken his campaign tour to his home town of Mangu Local Government Area of the State, promising to unite the people of Plateau if voted into power in the 2023 March 11th governorship election.
Muftwang and his team who made a stop at the traditional ruler’s palace in Mangu, His Royal Highness the Mishkaham Mwaghavul, Da John Hirse Putmang, to pay his respect, assured the monarch of an all inclusive government when voted into power.
Pointing out that he is in his home and need not to campaign or sing his own praises among his people, the PDP candidate said he is confident that the people of Mangu will massively deliver their votes to him.
Urging the people to reject the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), Muftwang said if the people did not take the God given opportunity in 2023 to vote out APC, the hardship faced will continue unabated.
“The PDP under me will provide true leadership and leave a legacy of social justice and service to the people”, he said.
Muftwang stated this on Wednesday during a town hall meeting held in Mangu LGA.
Addressing a crowd of citizens at the town hall, Muftwang emphasised that security, rural development, physically challenged, health, education, workers, pensions, traders, youth and women are part of his vision for a new Plateau State.

On his part, the Director General of the Campaign, Hon. Letep Dabang, said as a former APC chieftain, he helped the APC to win election, and now back to the PDP, God has brought him back to deliver Mutfwang as the next governor of the State.
