Plateau State Caucus in the National Assembly has vowed to work together in the interest of the state, irrespective of party, tribe, or religious divides.
Sen. Diket Plang (APC, Plateau) made the pledge yesterday in Abuja at a welcome ceremony for lawmakers organised by the Plateau State Indigenes’ Forum in the National Assembly (PIFNASS).
Plang said the lawmakers were determined to bring back Plateau’s glorious days and make it a home to all Nigerians and foreigners again.
“When we are here, we talk about Plateau and what we can take home; no matter your party or tribe, the essence is Plateau, and no matter religion or local governments, the emphasis is Plateau.
“Plateau must rise again, it must be said that there is a Plateau and therefore, when they are sharing, we must collect our own and take it back home.
“I assure you that we will leave a responsible, people-oriented and a very fair representation of the people of Plateau,” he said.
He charged members of PIFNASS, as indigenes of the state, to guide lawmakers, particularly first timers, as part of their contribution to the development of the state.
On behalf of members of the House of Representatives from Plateau, Hon. John Dafaan (APC, Plateau) said all the legislators from the state operate as one family.
The lawmaker urged PIFNASS to partner with the lawmakers and the caucus to attract the dividends of democracy for the people.
Earlier, the president of PIFNASS, Caleb Danfulani, said the association aims to promote unity and enhance the well-being of its members regardless of party affiliation, tribe, and religion.
