The governor of Plateau State, Simon Bako Lalong has vowed to unite the different tribes in the state and to ensure that peace reigns even if doing so will cost him his life.
The governor made the pledge on Sunday during a church thanksgiving service held at St. Michael Catholic Parish, Pwomol-Heipang in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of the state.
According to Lalong, his mission as the governor of Plateau State is to bring unity among all the tribes for peace and development to strive.
“I want to assure Plateau people that we will not sleep until peace is restored permanently in the state because if our people cannot sleep, then we will not sleep as a government.”
The governor, who said he is not a governor for a section of the state but of the entire state, called on the people, Muslims and Christians, to love one another.
“If we want Plateau State to grow then we must forgive and forget,” he stated.
The governor was accompanied to the thanksgiving service by his wife, Plateau State House of Assembly speaker, Rt. Hon. Titus Alarms, Chief Judge of the state, Justice Pius Damulak, members of the state House of Assembly, as well as local government chairmen and other guests.
