Plateau State publicity secretary state John T Akans ksm fcia said the party is worried on the continues silence by the state government concerning RUGA settlement program by the federal government of Nigeria.”This is because some state have come out with a clear and unambiguous position of total rejection of this unacceptable plans of the APC led government.”We are deeply absorbed, while some state governor have come out with a clear position on this matter as it affects their people, but our own dear governor has refused to make his position known. We expect the APC led government in the state to make a categorical statement regarding this program but it seems the APC itself is confused as on what to tell plateau people.”It is alleged that the APC government of Simon Bako Lalong has already conceded some lands to the federal government for the purpose of this anti- people’s program.”Governor Simon Bako must listen to the cries of plateau people,listen to the cries of traumatized victims of herdsmen in the state.”Plateau state chapter of the people’s Democratic party, under the leadership of Hon Chris Adukuchili Hassan demands a clear statement from Governor Simon Bako Lalong on this matter that affects the people of plateau directly.”Governor Simon Bako Lalong must understand that our land is our heritage and inheritance which can not be shared. He must also realize that land is finiti and can not be used in exchange for his personal political bargain and favor!”We equally called on members of the state house of Assembly to as a matter of urgency past a resolution directing the state governor to totally reject this anti people’s program that is against the people of your various constituencies inline with your Benue state counterpart.”Finally the party is deeply worried with the level of hardship our people are going through as a result of government continues failure and refusal to set in place machinery in motion to ameliorate peoples hardship in the state”.
