Plateau Governor-elect Caleb Mutfwang has pledged to run an all-inclusive and accountable government when sworn in as the state governor.

Mr Mutfwang made the promise while dissolving Atiku/Mutfwang Campaign Council in the state and inaugurating a transition committee.

He said his victory came from the collective effort of the great people of the state across ethnicity, religion and party affiliation.

“We will carry everybody along; we will not victimise people in local governments that we lost, this government is for all.

“We must deliver on good governance on the Plateau, this is not about individual benefits but a journey for the state,” he said.

Mr Mutfwang added that it was time to correct past mistakes and build a Plateau that the people would be proud of.

He charged elected members of the legislative arm of government to work within the context that would benefit the state and not seek personal ambitions.

The governor-elect called on citizens to put their hands together and remain united so that his administration could drive the governance process effectively.

Mr Mutfwang, while inaugurating the nine-man transition committee, charged them to take their duties seriously, adding that he was confident they would do the job effectively.

Earlier, in an opening remark, the state party chairman, Chris Hassan, thanked the state’s people for trusting and voting for the party during the last general elections.

Mr Hassan prayed for the support of the people, which he said was needed for the administration’s success.
