Lalong leading political figure with integrity, group lauds ex-Gov as Tinubu’s campaign DG

The Abuja Chapter of the Gamai Unity and Development Organisation (GUDO) has stated that Lalong remains a leading political figure in Plateau State and Nigeria having successfully produced the President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the Director General of his campaign.

According to a statement signed by the Media aide to the former Governor, Dr. Makut Simon Macham, the Organisation led by its Abuja Chapter Chairman,
Miskoom Alex Bala said this during a visit to the governor.

Miskom Bala described Lalong as a leader who believes in peace, unity and oneness which made him put in so much effort at ensuring that Plateau regained its status as the Home of Peace and Tourism as well as maintain substantial stability during his tenure.

According to him, Lalong did not seek to favour his ethnic or religious group over others because of his passion to carry everyone along as well as to solidify the rich diversity of Plateau State.

While praying that God will continue to bless him and take him higher, the GUDO Chairman said Lalong remains a leading political figure in Plateau State and Nigeria having successfully produced the President of Nigeria Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the Director General of his campaign.

He said his tenure in Plateau State was a great opportunity to serve the people with integrity and fear of God.

This he said made him resist any attempt to make him run a government of exclusion and segregation based on ethnic and religious differences.

He said as a Gamai man and Catholic who was raised with principles of love and service, he easily shut down any suggestion for him to be an ethnic champion by putting one tribe above the other in a multicultural and diverse ethnic society like Plateau.

According to Governor Lalong, though he cannot claim to have done everything, he did his best to serve the State during his tenure despite limited resources and other challenges, and will continue to put the interest of Plateau State first in whatever capacity he finds himself.

He called on the citizens of Plateau State to consider the interest of the State above personal gains as well as support whoever God gives leadership responsibility in the State.
