In the last few days, the Social Media has been inundated with the news item written by one Mark Longyen and published by Periscope.
Those who do not know Mark Longyen would have long started to celebrate, imagining he must have got them where they would be mostly pained.
Rather than to boldly display his intentions , the undercurrent quickly finds expression in the strange narrative of a rift between Minister of Labour and Employment and former Governor of Plateau State, Simon Bako Lalong and member representing Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam, Rt Hon Dr. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi.
Reading through the report, any discerning mind would have noted that Periscope appears to be celebrating the fact that more local government areas are getting involved in the advocacy for their sons and daughters to be considered for the ministerial slot.
He failed woefully in his campaign to knock the heads of former Governor Simon Bako Lalong and his trusted ally, Rt Hon Yusuf Adamu Gagdi on several fronts.
That both of them, together with their supporters have remained stronger and committed to the cause that brought them closer has made their traducers livid with antagonism about their mission.
In his attempt to lampoon both and bring them to disrepute by inputting that several groups are fronting for individuals, he invariably promoted their political relevance at home and nationally; admittedly giving them the place they deserve; and even more, were they to be weighed on a scale.
If we were to interrogate the writer’s antecedence, the reader would have noticed Governor Simon Bako Lalong, his former boss’ openness towards his former media aide, since they parted ways in 2019.
For whatever reasons he chose to tow this path, one thing is certain: The course for what is good cannot be altered.
To think that Lalong and Gagdi are spoilt for a fight for the position is to imagine that they are strangers to what is good for Plateau State.
IF, granted that they are both lined up to get their candidates considered for the ministerial position, they certainly as always have a meeting point.
There is nothing too big they cannot get sorted out, despite crazy insinuations and propaganda by Periscope and its collaborators.
Even in this too, it is In God We Trust!
