His words:” I am not a novice when it’s comes Plateau issues and governance, mental capacity and intellectual ability with the requisite experience to lead the state to a better destination. I worked with former Governor Joshua Dariye, Jonah David Jang and Governor Simon Lalong.
“I have been privileged to work with technocrats and public officers. I make bold to say I have learned a lot from our leaders, past and present. I have tapped from their wisdom, expertise and knowledge and am equipped with experience to offer myself as the next Chief Servant leader of Plateau State.
“My work has made me interact with captains of industry, top technocrats, diplomats and a cross-section of top political leaders of this country. This has positioned me with the understanding and knowledge of issues and dynamics of developmental governance as well as social, economic and infrastructural re-engineering.
“It is based on this that my campaign mantra is anchored on: “TheBiggThingsComing” which speaks to the common yearnings and aspirations of most of our citizens in Plateau State.”
He explained that his campaign would be anchored on Peace and enhanced security, Agricultural development, Solid Minerals Development and Mining and Social Services and Critical infrastructure.
“I am very mindful of the place of women, children and people living with Disabilities. I did not mention them separately because I hold the view of our equality; the task now is to secure the ticket of our great party, the APC.”
Biggs said if, given the Mandate, he will present to the great people of Plateau State all-inclusive governance and a level playing ground where ethnicity and religion would not be used against any individual.
