2023: THE FEAR OF NENTAWE AND THE PLATEAU CABAL PROPAGANDA

.The fact that Dr. Nentawe is definitely going to be an issue in the 2023 election is fast changing the tenor of the debate.But any time somebody ‘sneezes’ regarding the 2023 Gubernatorial election on the Plateau, it is not only the opposition party that catches the coldest cold; other camps of aspirants under the All Progressive Congress(APC) and their so-called apologists, also do that.But the thought of a formidable force as Dr. Nentawe though scorned on many occasions by the APC, might have put other camps in a panic mode, resulting in what’s now regarded as a knee-jerk propaganda – a propaganda riddled with desperation, disillusionment, and lacklustre logic.That propaganda of the Plateau Cabal has since been considered not only the hand of its writer but the voice of aspirants loosing relevance and popurlarity. Dr. Nentawe is the only candidate that knows the state and has wide acceptance, regardless of tribe and religion.No Plateau politician has exerted so much influence so vastly, like that spectacled taciturnity called Nantawe. The man has built good name for himself and like the Yoruba people say “Oruko rere san ju wura ati fadaka”, a good name is better than silver and gold.Unlike many political leaders, the Generation next leader has remained a unifying figure in Plateau. Even the opposition party attests to that. It, therefore, follows logic for any political camp or group to fly a kite with his name.A strategist of phenomenal impact who built a vast political estate from scratch, he straddles both notoriety and fame, each cancelling out the other in the sheer credibility of their respective acclaims. Hate him or love him, it is difficult not to be amazed by his ingenuity, by his pragmatism, hardwork, and ambition. Nentawe is quite politically intelligent and has good mission for the state.Faced with public embarrassment and the preference for Nentawe, by those for whom he sold his people’s birthright, other aspirants are now behaving like a woman scorned. Throwing out propaganda up and down since they are out of idea and strategies.Like any other political dispensation, we read the impetuous and ill-thought out diatribe against Dr Nentawe everyday from one Fabricated stories (lies)to another,like he is from the cabal ,An imposed candidate, he is not a member of the party ,he cant contest election, he is this he is that , But they cant denied his competency, credibility, exposure and Integrity, for you to contest an election in Apc the party state it clearly that ” you must be in the party for the period of 3 months likewise being a member see article 9.1 of the party constitution, We expect more of your lies but one thing is certain when God said yes Nobody can say No,My attention has been drawn to cheap propaganda alleging the imposition of Dr. Nentawe by what the authors called *”Plateau Cabal”, Someone who spend almost 14yrs nurturing his ambition how comes does it make sense to say someone is imposing him? The propaganda, which is a figment of the writers’ imagination, is embellished with innuendos, absolute falsehood and simply an attempt to tarnish the eligiblity and hard-earned image of Dr. Nentawe with the sole aim of bringing him to disrepute. We are writing as a concerned Plateau indegine; the Nentawe Media Team are at liberty to respond to the lies in a manner they consider fitting and prosper.Before we respond to the seriatim, it is necessary for us to point out the perfidy in their belief that Plateau people have not read their book and fully understood their well-rehearsed approach to getting attention and denting Nentawe’s popularity.Let it be known to you that the gimmickry of the propaganda is not lost on any one. The fact of the matter is that the masses cannot have a character like their candidates as leaders, no matter how hard they try.They can grumble, moan and groan as much as they want but each time they go into their bedrooms to meet their wives and each time they get on their prayer mats to begin their prayers, it is we the Plateau people that they think of, that they fear, that they bow to and that they pray for.The decision of who will lead Plateau State after 2023 election lies with the masses. No one can decide the faith of the state aside the masses.SIGNED:PLATEAU YOUTHS PATRIOTIC FORUM (PYPF).
