Group Dismisses Bida’s Criticism of Plateau Governor
A group under the aegis of Plateau Initiative for Growth and Development has faulted what it described as misleading claims made by a governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Commander Yilchini Jan Bida (rtd), against the administration of Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang.
The group said it watched with disbelief Bida’s recent media engagement in Jos, where he declared his ambition to unseat Governor Mutfwang in the 2027 governorship election.
In a statement signed by its state Coordinator, Nengak David, the group accused the retired military officer of attempting to downplay the achievements of the Mutfwang administration and previous governments while portraying himself as the only solution to Plateau State challenges.
According to the statement, Bida’s remarks on security and infrastructure reflected what the group described as a poor understanding of the realities, history, and aspirations of the Plateau people.
