DANIEL DAUDA, Jos
Stakeholders under the aegis of Jahr Patriotic Forum in Jahr Chiefdom of Kanam local government area of Plateau State have cautioned caretaker committee in the Chiefdom to desist from inciting people against Governor Caleb Mutfwang over the state’s insecurity.
The stakeholders have passed a vote of no confidence on the current caretaker Committee of Jahr Development Association which they have over-stayed their welcome, calling on the
Royal Father, the Ra’an Jahr, who is Grand patron of the Association to dissolve the care-taker Committee with immediate effect and constituted a new one with a definite timeframe to conduct elections into the various offices of the Association.
Jahr Patriotic Forum, led by Galadima Jahr and former chairman of Kanam LGA, Dr. Dayyabu Garga alongside stakeholders from Jahr Chiefdom, while addressing newsmen at NUJ Secretariat in Jos on Tuesday, stated that there not going to be part of any action inimical to the reputation of the governor or government, noting “we are law abiding, enlightened and have the fear of God.”
“Our attention has been drawn to a letter dated 26th May, 2025 and addressed to his
Excellency, the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Manasseh
Mutfwang drawing his urgent attention to the security challenges in our Chiefdom.
“We are not contesting the cause of the letter but are flabbergasted by the Language
implored in expressing the intent of the letter.
“The Jahr people are known to be humble, polite and level headed and would ordinarily portray such in all presentations, expressions and advocacies. We are therefore, embarrassed to see the above mentioned letter addressed to the Chief Executive of the State loaded with ultimatum, insults, intimidation and threats. Such unwholesome phrases such as
i.We are no longer needed in Plateau State’-This is a Political Statement that must have originated from somewhere since the Authors have no evidence anywhere, oral or written that suggest that the Jahr people are not needed in Plateau State.
“We have been part and parcel of the state since Pre-colonial times and nobody, government or authority has ever threatened to sack us from the state or disenfranchise us as legitimate citizens.”
The stakeholders claimed that no Governor in North-Central Nigeria has expressed so much energy and resources in containing terrorism, banditry, kidnapping for ransom,herdsmen and associated crimes than Governor Caleb Mutfwang.
“We appreciate the Governor’s efforts in tackling terrorism, kidnapping,banditry, and all forms of criminality but like Oliver Twist, we beg for more since it appears that the more efforts being made, the higher the propensity of attacks and destruction.”
