In a statement issued by its National Chairman, Christopher Ishaku, PVD said Yilwatda’s leadership reflects a commitment to reconciliation and inclusive politics at a time when Plateau requires collective resolve.
The group specifically praised Yilwatda’s public declaration to personally lead the second-term campaign of Governor Caleb Mutfwang, describing the move as a clear signal of stability and cohesion within the APC.
“Professor Nentawe Yilwatda has demonstrated uncommon humility and statesmanship. His decision to rally all tendencies within the APC and to spearhead the second-term campaign of Governor Caleb Mutfwang shows that Plateau’s interest is greater than personal ambition,” the statement read.
PVD highlighted that Plateau has endured years of division, insecurity, criminality, and terrorist attacks, which have disrupted communities and slowed development. The group emphasised that unity among political actors and citizens is essential to achieving lasting peace and prosperity.
The organisation called on Governor Mutfwang’s supporters to embrace Yilwatda’s leadership, stressing that harmony between the governor and the national leadership is critical for sustaining progress.
“We urge all supporters of the governor to rise above narrow sentiments and work collaboratively with the national chairman. This is not the time for internal rivalry but for collective action,” the statement added.
