On an auspicious occasion such as the Workers Day, the Rt Hon Yuduf Adamu Gagdi has joined other leaders to felicitate with the Nigerian working class by celebrating their commitment and patience in the face of daunting challenges facing the nation.
‘Having been one of you and even gone through the vagaries of life together,’ Gagdi notes with concern that as workers celebrate, they must not forget the forces that have continued to shape their struggles.
Despite living at a time that life for most families have been more challenging, Nigerian workers must have faith and believe in our capacities to surmount them for a better tomorrow. ‘I therefore salute your enormous courage in the face of the challenges’.
Having embarked on a journey that sees us as One nation, forward together’, Gagdi is optimistic that if given the opportunity to serve in the capacity of Speaker in the 10th Assembly, together with his colleagues the rights of the Nigerian worker shall always be protected.
Plateau State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has been making bogus claims of being a darling party of the state, and feels on top of Mount Kilimanjaro with delusionary hype from multi distinct names of individualistic party faithful on social media to appear as sea of indigenous lovers and admirers of the party celebrating the governorship misty and mirage victory occasioned by political atrocities of different kinds. The party is merely imposing itself on the state and claiming to be loved. It’s like a rapist who rapes women and claims their submission to be out of their own volition. Before his demise, Senator Ibrahim Mantu, confessed to election rigging by the PDP. On 31st March, 2018 on Channels Television. Senator Jonah David Jang, PDP’s patriarch earlier than Mantu’s confession declared openly that God approves successful rigging. This he said on May 27, 2013 at Faithway Chapel after defeating Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, then Rivers State Governor, during their Nigerian Governors Forum election with 16 against 19 votes. It should be noted that the PDP is highly an immoral party with no regards to Electoral Act or conscienceness when it comes to elections. Then Niger state governor, Alhaji Aliyu Babangida, a strong force in the PDP said on January 6, 2015, “If you cannot lie, get out of politics. Anything you are involved in has its own rule.” He also said, “If you are talking of honesty or morals, go and become an Imam or pastor. Politics cannot be the way it used to.” Look at the sequence, Jang said God approves successful rigging in 2013, almost two years after, in 2015, Babangida Aliyu said there is no morality in politics, and three years later in 2018, Mantu said they have been rigging elections. Where is the truth in the PDP? Despite their confessions and the ugly fragmented picture they gave themselves, the PDP in Plateau has fully portrayed itself a full blown political immoral guru by its 2023 electioneering campaign of character assassination and letters forgeries. It’s an open secret that the party forged a letter and alleged it to have been written by the Labour Party, LP, National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure telling the people of Plateau to vote for the PDP governorship candidate, Barrister Caleb Mutfwang. The same party forged a letter alleged to have been written by Dr. Patrick Dakum, governorship candidate of the LP, accepting the cock and bull letter of stepping down for Mutfwang. The same Mutfwang was reported on Jay FM thanking Dakum for stepping down for him. The fictitious news was spread on AIT and Jay FM, likewise their teeming propagandists spread across the four corners of the state. Funny enough was the usage of the picture snapped when Dakum paid condolence visit to Mutfwang over the death of his mother and depicted the lie that the LP governorship candidate came and handed the party to him. Nentawe Yilwada, governorship candidate of the APC was shot with overdose of their immoral political serum of character assassination alleging that he is a stooge of the Caliphate and was all out to give the main market site for a Mosque construction and so many others. In fact, in 2006, the PDP had to adapt illegal impeachment of then governor, Joshua Dariye whom they suspended from the party in September 2015, to win the 2007 Governorship elections. If truly Plateau loves the PDP, why does the party indulge in illegal impeachment, lies, forgery and character assassination to win elections? Before the PDP should make any claim and boast that it’s loved by Plateau, let it win under clean electioneering campaign without rigging at the polls. This is the clean test of popularity and love.
Dr. Sunday Patrick Dakum, Chief Executive Officer of Institute of Human Virology Nigeria, IHVN, and Plateau State Labour Party, LP, governorship candidate in the 2023 general elections salutes the entire Nigeria workforce as they observe the 2023 Labour Day popularly called Workers Day. Dakum expresses satisfaction of being Plateau State governorship candidate on their party’s platform, the Labour Party, saying workers are remarkable, indispensable and paramount force in societal running and sustenance being its engine room. And that without them, the society will standstill, retard, deteriorate and gone into stupor. He praises them for their continuous resilience and perseverance in giving their all to ensure the country develops and progresses in the face of skyrocketing inflation with poor remuneration as their take home pay, and calls on them not to relent but keep putting in their best for their sake, children and posterity. Dakum encourages workers to celebrate their day with reflection on how they would improve and bring fabulous creativity and innovation to bear on their jobs and working place, and not to be deterred by irregularities and misgivings to deny them the attainment of expertise in their career; and to use the day to pray for the country to succeed. He further commends and says a big thank you to all staff of IHVN for what he describes as undaunted, committed and relentless workaholic strides in the institution’s affairs leading to its success and progress. In the same vein, Dakum admonishes the government at all levels to look into the plight of Nigerian workers and ameliorate their hardship by improving their condition of service so as to boost their morale the more to put in their best; and to ensure that strong measures are put in place to curb the brunt which will be occasioned by removal of Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, subsidy that obviously will take its toll on workers.

The piece written and tagged “as Mutfwang takes over governance in Plateau state” which is credited to one Hon Timothy Golu was perused by many discerning minds and easily seen to be completely empty and would have been wished away with a mere fling of a finger but for us to make straight the intellectual distortion the shallow piece might cause some misinformed gullibles, we decided to write to correct such an impression in the minds of Plateau people who know the truth about governance and the benefits being enjoyed in the course of the almost 8 years political journey of this present administration. We went through the piece to our utter dismay that such piece could be written by someone of your caliber. It is not totally surprising considering the desperation your type are into, in quick search to hold on to power simply for just the fun of it. It is quite disheartening to every good Plateau man/woman who has been in this very state under the pragmatic leadership of Rt Hon (Barr) Simon Bako Lalong, to have read this from you. Firstly, for someone like you to have ascribed H.E,Governor Lalong with unpalatable and unprintable words such as incapacity, political Laziness and unintelligence in governance exactly describe who you truly were when you represented the good people of Pankshin, Kanke, Kanam (PKK) in the national assembly between 2015 to 2019. No wonder, you were roundly beaten to stupor thereby denying you the chance to go back to the National Assembly for second tenure. In your wildest dream and the figment of your imagination, you would have wished that the People’s Governor could do like you did, but you were put to shame by his conspicuous performance all over the state. This was visibly made manifest in the people’s resolve to elect him again to serve another four years which is coming to an end with progress reports scattered all over the state for everyone to see and feel.
Secondly, you ignorantly or deliberately claimed that Lalong loves raw power. This is quite laughable because everyone who is in Plateau state right from the entrenchment of this present democracy will agree to the fact that even when there was clear opportunity for him to betray his then boss, Chief J. C Dariye, he wasn’t desperate for such. This clearly shows that he is such a calm man who believes in destiny. He refused to bow to the pressure from the powers that be above to subvert the will of the people. He stood firm for truth and he was vindicated. What more do you want of a gentle personality such as this? Thirdly, how can someone who claims to love Plateau state be so blind to the realities on ground concerning Lalong and his connection to the national level of politicking where countless projects are littered everywhere due to his genuine connection to the national political grid. Need we mention some of the projects and appointments he attracted to Plateau for you? We don’t think there is need for that. But because of sheer mischief, you decided to paint him black when there is absolutely no need/truth to do so. If H.E, Lalong was a local champion as you mischievously claimed, who would have made him the campaign DG of the Tinubu/Shetima campaign Council, a struggle that paid off with the emergence of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the winner of the February 25th Presidential election? Who again would have been instrumental for siting the many projects and appointments to Plateau state? It baffles us to read your piece having these bile and toxins. This shows how bitter you are about the governor for no just cause rather than just pure hatred for only God knows why. Even though your type keeps painting the payment of salaries as never an achievement, we want to educate you and the few disciples of yours that the multiplier effect of such an action(salary payment) is quiet monumental and positive as it translates into spending on several other sectors thereby boosting the economy. It is on record that from 1999 till date, Governor Simon Bako Lalong remains the best in salary payment amongst all those who have governed the state as he is currently planning to ensure that every salary is paid to all categories of the state’s workforce before he leaves office on May 29th to the admiration of all Plateau workers. We are very much aware of the fact that for the past four years, your jar had been dry and your throat has desperately been on high demand for a thirst quencher. But we advise you that in searching for such crumbs from this incoming partime government of Mutfwang, please do so with utmost decorum lest your seeming glimpse of respect dissolve like salt in a hot Sahara. We advise you to tread with caution by remaining on your lane without distorting the truth about the overwhelming performance of H.E,Barr Simon Bako Lalong to the good people of Plateau. Stop disgracing yourself with all sorts of your “mouth diarrheanism” simply for the pot of stew you daily yearn for. A word is indeed enough for the wise.
On behalf of my family and the entire team Positive Impact to humanity, we felicitate with the Nigerian workers over their resilience, commitment and sacrifice to duty on this special day. Your show of love for the country and humanity is really appreciated.With your efforts and creative energies I believe that it is very possible to create economic buoyancy and wealth in the country.
Let me equally use this medium to challenge all employers to place the right premium on their workforce, no company or organization becomes great without the input of the workers. No matter the amount of investment available, the people make the success or failure of a company.
As we celebrate Workers Day today, I implore all corporate entities to put their people first.
Happy Workers day.
HON.CHIEF.AMB. DEWAN K. GABRIEL, MEMBER -ELECT, PANKSHIN NORTH CONSTITUENCY.

WORKER’S DAY FELICITATIONS FROM PROFESSOR MATUR, MALAU BERNARD TO ALL STAFFERS AT PLATEAU STATE UNIVERSITY, BOKKOS
1st May, 2023
I want to wish a happy Worker’s Day to all the workers at Plateau State University, Bokkos. The Federal Government of Nigeria has declared May 1, 2023 as a day to celebrate the hard work and dedication of workers, and it’s a reminder of the struggles and achievements of trade unions around the world. This tradition dates back to the 1886 Australian worker’s struggle, which was followed shortly after by American and British workers.
I want to commend the workers at Plateau State University for their resilience, patience, and understanding, despite the challenges they face with outstanding salaries and allowances. The University’s management is not resting on its oars in addressing these issues, and we are committed to creating a conducive and attractive work environment for our workers.
As we celebrate this day, I want to remind everyone that the PLASU project is a collective one, and we must all work together to develop Plateau State University to meet the needs of our community and beyond. We will continue to operate with an open-door policy, and all hands must be on deck to ensure that we address the welfare needs of our workers within our available resources.
Finally, I urge everyone to remain committed to peace, which is crucial to the growth and prosperity of our University, Plateau State, and the nation as a whole. Congratulations, and happy Worker’s Day!
TEXT OF THE JOINT PRESS CONFERENCE BY THE LEADERSHIPS OF THE PLATEAU STATE YOUTH COUNCIL, COALITION OF PLATEAU STATE INDEGENOUS YOUTHS AND YOWICAN, ON BEHALF OF ALL PLATEAU YOUTHS, ON THE RENEWED KILLINGS AND FULANI ATTACKS IN MANGU, BARKIN LADI, BOKKOS, JOS SOUTH, RIYOM and BASSA LGAs OF PLATEAU STATE ON SATURDAY, APRIL 29TH, 2023.
Protocol
Good morning gentlemen of the Press and welcome to this all important Press Conference.
It has come to the notice of the above mentioned coalition that Fulani militias have resumed and are also planning coordinated attacks and killings in Mangu, Bokkos, Barkin Ladi, Riyom, Jos South and Bassa LGAs of Plateau State.
These attacks are orchestrated largely to disrupt farming activities, economic livelihoods, displace population and grab lands in these commuties.
From April 15th, 2023 to date, the following villages and Hamlets have come under attacks, our people killed, properties worth millions of Naira destroyed while others have been displaced from their ancestral homes.
For the Records,
1: MANGU LGA;
a. Murish, Mai-tumbi and Jwak villages were attacked on the 15th and 16th of April, 2023, and 4 people were killed.
b. A mining site in Mangor was attacked and five people were killed on the 12th April, 2023.
2; BARKIN-LAD LGA
a. NTV village, 2 people were ambushed and killed on the 17th April 2023.
b. Rawuru, 1 person was ambushed and killed on the 22nd April, 2023.
c: In Tapo of Heipang, 4 people were killed on April 23rd, 2023.
d. In Heipang-Kwi road (Chit), two people were ambushed and killed on the 27th April, 2023.
3; RIYOM LGA
a. In Wereng, it was a case of massive willful destruction of farmlands on the 22nd of April, 2023.
b. Kuru Station of Wereng, 2 people were killed on the 23rd April, 2023.
c: In Rim- Bachi road, 3 people were ambushed and 2 fatally injured on the 23rd April, 2023.
d. In Jol, it was a case of willful destruction of farmlands on a massive scale and one person was ambushed, robbed of his motorcycle and abducted on the 24th and 25th April, 2023 respectively.
e. In Wereng Camp-Darwat road, 2 two clergies were ambushed and 1 fatally injured on the 24th April, 2023.
f. In Gako-Rim, one person was killed on the 26th April, 2023.
4; JOS SOUTH
a. In Turu (Farin Lamba), 6 people were killed and 1 injured on the 25th April, 2023.
5; BOKKOS LGA
a. In Marish, 3 people were attacked and killed.
The afforementioned attacks are in addition to the many attacks that have taken place in several villages in Bokkos, Riyom and Bassa LGAs.
The above incidences are sufficient evidence that the Fulani militias have resumed their onslaughts on the innocent people of Plateau state just like it has been happening in parts of Southern Kaduna and Benue state. In our view, these attacks should never be mistaken for isolated incidents or better still, the so-called farmer-herder clashes. Rather, they are strategies of war and terrorism aimed at disrupting farming activities, displacing the people and grabbing their lands.
Unfortunately for the victims in all these villages and Hamlets of Plateau State, the response of security agencies, particularly the Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) has always come too late and too little to save their lives and situation despite the early warning signals sent to them by members of our coalition.
Today, these people have lost their lives, their dreams and aspirations in life cut short while their responsibilities over their children and wives have to be shouldered by surviving family members whether young or aged. To us, this was entirely avoidable and therefore, highly condemnable.
From what has been witnessed in the theatre of the prevailing guerilla attacks and the keen observation of our coalition members, it is very obvious that the victims are not in doubt as to who their killers are. Indeed, they are of the fulani’s stock and therefore, we cannot subscribe to the misleading charade of unknown gunmen. In addition, the spade, timing and precision of operations couple with the feeble response the plight of victims received is highly suggestive of collusion. The truth is that, the lives and circumstances of the victims of these killings and attacks are treated as of second-class value in Nigeria and this is totally unacceptable, unconstitutional and repugnant to natural justice, equity and good conscience.
Therefore, the Coalition of the afforementioned blocks of Plateau Youth have resolved as follows;
1: That operatives of Operation Safe Haven should desist from ironical and wrongful arrest of victims rather than offenders as in the case of Kuru Station of Wereng in Riyom LGA, where two people were wrongfully arrested having themselves suffered crops destruction by the Fulani Hearders.
2: That all State actors who are charged with the statutory responsibility of guaranteeing the security of lives and properties to rise up to the call of their duty without compromise, fear or favour and forestall any further loss of life and property in and around the general area.
3; That all Villages and Hamlets should initiate immediate measures that would guarantee the security of their lives and properties, and work in synergy with neighboring Communities in order to contend the Fulani onslaughts.
4; That Mr. Jatau Yakubu Kachai of Kuru station in Riyom LGA who was wrongfully arrested and continuously detained by Operation Safe Haven at it’s headquarters in Jos be immediately released unconditionally.
5; That the Operation Safe Haven-OPSH has been complaisant and has compromised on several occasions and therefore, should be substituted with the Mobile Police squadron in all the affected areas given their proactive and more effective response to distress calls.
6; That the personnel of Operation Rainbow in Plateau State should be activated and deployed accordingly.
7; That Plateau State Government, should as a matter of urgency, inaugurate the taskforce on anti-land grabbing law of the state to enforce compliance.
8; That the State Security Council should take immediate measures against the influx of armed Fulanis who have infiltrated the State and now in places such as Shonong and Bangai in Bachi District, Ranku(Mahanga), Guava and Fass in Jol of Riyom LGA, Josho in Daffo District of Bokkos LGA to continue the attacks.
9; That the State House of Assembly should expedite legislative action to pass the Anti-Open Grazing Law of Plateau State, which shall inter alia, restrict cattle from roaming around, and hopefully check the influx of alien Fulani herders.
10; That the action taken by these leaderships is entirely apolitical and purely in the defense of the people of Plateau. Politicians are, therefore, strongly warned to, in their best interest, strer clear and never attempt to take advantage, or jeopardize this effort and process
11;That failure of the appropriate authorities to comply with the demands of the Coalition, Plateau Youths will be left with no option than resort to self help
Conclusively, we wish to sympathize with the families of all those who have lost their loved ones in the cause of the dastardly act and pray for the repose of all the departed souls. We also pray for quick recovery for those that sustained different degrees of injuries with every assurance that we are with them at this painful moment and we shall stand STRONGLY with them in defense of our land. We are calling on the government, NGO’s and spirited individuals to come to the aid of the injured persons who are receiving treatment in different hospitals.
God bless Plateau State!

10th ASSEMBLY : GAGDI INTENSIFIES PUSH FOR REPS SPEAKERSHIP, MEETS WITH LABOUR PARTY REPS-ELECT
Rt. Hon Yusuf Gagdi’s race for the Speaker of the House of Representatives on Friday received a boost following his meeting with Members-elect on the platform of the Labour Party.
The meeting, which held in Abuja and had a majority of Labour Party Reps-elect in attendance, is a follow-up to interactions with leaders of the Labour Party at national and state levels.
Gagdi, who has legislative experience from state to federal level, has been consulting widely across party lines to build a national governing coalition that reflects the composition of the House of Representatives.
The meeting held on Friday is one of the many consultative parleys being held by the Lawmaker with Members of the House elected across various political parties.
Engagements between Gagdi, stakeholders and members-elect are ongoing, as the nation awaits the decision of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on the zoning of National Assembly positions.
