Plateau LG crisis: Jos South TIC chair urges supporters to uphold law

Published by

The Transition Management Committee Chairmen of Jos South local government area of Plateau State, Hon. Peter Van Dung, accessed his office on Monday and called on his supporters to be law-abiding.

Recall that the Federal High Court last week issued an order restraining the Inspector General of Police from preventing the Transition Management Committee chairmen in the 17 local government areas of the state from accessing their secretariats.

The Nigerian Tribune’s findings revealed that the chairman and his supporters arrived at the council secretariat at about 8:00 a.m. but were initially prevented from gaining access to the secretariat.

The stern-looking policemen insisted that there was no order from above to open up the secretariat to anyone and demanded the court order, which authorised the chairman and his committee members to enter.

Checks revealed that after a few minutes of exchange of words, the TIC chairman and a few other people were allowed to go in but came out thirty minutes later to address the teaming PDP supporters at the gate.

Addressing the supporters alongside the Deputy Speaker, Plateau State House of Assembly, the chairman appealed to his supporters to be law-abiding and continue to pray for all the tiers of government, adding that Nigeria needs prayers at this crucial moment.

Dung told them that they should not exercise any fear about his resumption, adding that with the Federal High Court order, he will fully resume office on Tuesday and implored all those who need to be in office to resume work.

“The Governor of the State, Caleb Muftwang, is out to deliver dividends of democracy, and we at the local government level also have no choice but to follow his footsteps.”
