Da Sam Godongs said with the wide acceptability of Rt. Hon.

He said he would pursue unity and entrench good governance in the State. He promised to carry all people along irrespective of ethnic, tribal, religious and political inclinations if elected as Governor.

He said Plateau State is far behind and not where it should putting into account the infrastructural development the former administration of Sen. Jonah David Jang brought to the State.
He said the agenda is to have Plateau State far above where it is today, but the lack of vision and purpose of the present government have greatly affected the State.
