Gov Jang
The immediate past Governor of Plateau State and Senator representing Plateau North, Jonah Jang, on Sunday described the Governor Simon Lalong led administration in the state as the “worst and most insensitive” since its creation over forty years ago.
This was contained in a press statement, signed by his Media Assistant, Mr. Clinton Garuba, made available to journalists in Jos.
It reads, “We insist that the Governor Lalong led government in Plateau State, as things stand today, could possibly pass for the worst and most insensitive administration since the creation of Plateau State.
“We must say that we are not delighted thus will advise that the blame game should stop and efforts should be made in seeking for ways to better the lives of the Plateau people and stop the wasteful spending, for instance, the money paid to KPMG in the name of audit would have been enough to pay workers salary for two months.
“We have thought, we would just watch and see how the APC display its incompetence and ill preparedness for governance with high tendencies for scoring own goals but we were wrong as we have become the whipping child of the APC in Plateau State as a cover up for its none performance.
“All we hear after spending one year in office is a litany of falsehood that is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf.”
The statement added that, “The Lalong led administration should learn that nobody goes up by pulling anybody down; it was elected to correct the perceived wrongs of the last administration, if it lacks the capacity, Plateau people deserve better, simply apologize for betraying the people.”
“They didn’t vote the government to mortgage their future or discontinue from the path of greatness on which the state was, it has been one year of woeful performance, name calling , excuses and blame game”, the statement further explained.
It noted that the APC Government had admitted that the programme for which it had inaugurated a committee to investigate, was a laudable one, with tendencies for huge multiplier effects on the socio-political and economic development of citizens of the State.
“This is clear indication that the present government is not only bereft of ideas on what to do but has embarked on an unnecessary chasing of shadows just to show that it is working”, it added.
According to statement, “The constitution of any committee for whatever reason, is a deliberate plan to distract plateau people from the real issues and the nonperformance of the government in the State.
“We maintain that the immediate past administration did its best within the resources available to it, to bring good governance and development to the state. This evidence is littered all around the state for people to see”.
“We call on Governor Lalong to take a step further by denouncing the grazing policy and tender apology to the good people of Plateau for attempting to mortgage their future”, the statement advised.
It would be recalled that, the Governor Simon Lalong led administration in State, recently inaugurated an eight man committee to investigate the Purchase and Distribution of Vehicles and Tricycles by the last Administration through the “Tackling Poverty Programme”, introduced in 2013.
