Rev. John Pofi Campaign organization challenges PLSG to implement petition by Bokkos Women

PRESS RELEASE

The John Pofi  Governorship Campaign Organisation under the Social Democratic Party wishes to commend the resilience, doggedness, focus, commitment and boldness of the Internally Displaced Women of Daffo, Bokkos local government area who painfully left their “comfort” zones to come to Jos the state capital and voice out their displeasure over the merciless killings in their communities.

What these women have done under the leadership of Mrs Comfort Matawal is what the John Pofi Campaign Organisation has been clamouring for from the peace loving citizens of plateau state. We must unite against any form of terrorism, injustice and ethnic cleansing.

We must make it abundantly clear that while we do not subscribe to any violent means of conflict resolution, we encourage our people to always come out and speak against evil in our society, Evil is Evil.

We therefore appeal to other communities in plateau state to follow suit and peacefully take to the streets whenever their rights are infringed upon.

While we wait and watch patiently for the action of the Plateau State House of Assembly haven received a formal petition from the poor women, we hope they will not receive the petition and keep it to gather dust on the shelf like many others before it.

This pathetic sight in a state where peace is said to have been restored is a clear reminder that peace is still alien in the state.

This will also serve as a clarion call on the state government to TRULY work for peace since peace which seems to be within is still far away in a distant land.

Reverend John Pofi, JP who has been working for peace in and outside plateau state is the best man for the job.

We wish Plateau people eternal peace.

Yours in selfless service,
Rev John Pofi, JP
SDP Governorship Aspirant, Plateau state.
