Plateau state governor-elect, Caleb Mutfwang, has said that he will build a new Plateau that belongs to all.
He also said his administration will not witch-hunt the outgoing administration of Simon Lalong whose tenure ends on May 29, the day Mutfwang will be sworn in.
Speaking on Saturday during a state banquet at the New Government House, Rayfield, Jos, organised to usher in the new administration on May 29, Mutfwang commended Lalong for contributing his quota to the development of the state and wished him well in his future endeavours.
He said all those who had the opportunity to serve, are standing on the judgement of history.
Mutfwang called on the Plateau people, especially civil servants to support him to enable him succeed.
“I want to believe that going from here, we will build a new Plateau that belongs to all of us.
“All of us who have the opportunity to serve, are standing on the judgement of history and only history will determine the type of marks that will be allocated to you and we pray that history will be kind to us.
“I want to pledge before Plateau state that while we will not fail to look after the common wealth of the state, we will not witch-hunt anyone. “Where we find issues to be addressed, we will deal with them as a family affair.
“We have come to add value where there is a need for value addition,” Mutfwang said.
In his remarks at the event which was organised by the Inauguration Planning Committee, Lalong urged the incoming administration to be diligent, fair, and exercise justice in dealing with citizens and be committed to the pursuit of peace.
He said, “As we bow out on Monday, we look back with a sense of fulfilment on how we have been able to put the people first, particularly in carrying on with inherited projects as well as initiating and completing new ones”.
