Plateau Citizens in their thousands on Saturday trooped to Jos General Yakubu Gowon Heipang Airport to welcome Governor Caleb Mutfwang back to Jos the Plateau state capital from Abuja in celebration of his Victory at Supreme Court from where his mandate was affirmed on Friday as the duly elected Governor of Plateau state.
Mutfwang whose chartered Rano Air Aircraft touched down at Heipang Airport by noon on Saturday was accorded a tulmotius welcome into Jos by his party chieftains and well wishers including elders of the state which cut across groups and religious leaders on the Plateau.
Mutfwang speaking at a reception in his honor at Rayfilled Langfield Resort said even though attempts were made to steal his mandate, God and the Justices of the Supreme Court helped in rescuing for him his mandate that was quashed at the Court of Appeal.
According to him , on the 3rd of February, next month they will all troop out again in their numbers to return Senator Simon Mwadkwon back to the Senate.
” On the third of February, we are going out to re elect and reconfirm Simon Mwadkwon as Senator of Northern Plateau.by the grace of God, we will return to the polling units we will also reelect Musa Agah as member, Bassa -Jos North federal Constituency at National Assembly by the grace of God.”
According to Mutfwang, “there are forces working to ensure that we don’t stand this election. but if God is for us No man can be against us by the grace of God we will contest that election, not only contest, we will contest it merely to reconfirm what you did earlier on in March of last year, and by God’s grace, we will emerge victorious”
“People who are holding our mandates know that we did not give them our mandates to We know those that we gave our mandates and we still regard them as our representatives and by the grace of God, we will continue to ensure that they represent us one way or the other they will represent us.”
He thanked the Peoples Democratic Party who stood with them all through the struggle periods saying. Many people heard about the issue of structure and they believed our opponents.
” They thought we were telling them lies. “Well, yesterday, the Supreme Court gave their judgement and we came out victorious and that will continue to be our story by the grace of God. We have always believed in the judiciary as an institution, we will continue to believe in the judiciary. And we want to thank God for what the Supreme Court did yesterday. And we are trusting them. We’re trusting God, that I am sure when some of the justices see the rejoicing on the streets of Plateau,Kano, Zamfara. they will hold their heads high. They will know that they did what God wanted them to do. and our prayer is , may they complete what they have started. May the Lordship bring rejoicing to every state that is in need of rejoicing.”
” People think that I’m politicking. When I say thank you to Mr. President, is not about politics. The Nigerian president is one of the strongest presidents on Earth. There was a time that the Nigerian President was almost declared a non-nigerian.
“That is how powerful he can be. But I want to thank the President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I know how he was pushed. I know how they tried to use his name to intimidate the judiciary. I stand on record to say he refused to intrude into the political space into the judicial space. That is why Their Lordships could deliver their judgments without fear or favor. But that is not to say that we do not salute the courage of their lordships. They had the courage to deliver justice according to law. We are grateful to them. We are grateful to this President. We are grateful to the judiciary.”
” There may be people who have not done well. But we cannot throw the baby and the bathwater. And when we lose hope in the judiciary, the hope of the common man is lost.but yesterday, Our hope, our respect, our belief in justice was restored . and I trust God, that this will mark a new beginning in the rebirth of our nation”

” What it has done to me is that they have shown their support me. It has energize me, it has provoked me that for the rest of my life, by the grace of God, I will live for the interest of my life to serve the people of Plateau. I will ensure that by the grace of God, what God has destined for plateau, that I will make sure I work day and night to make it a reality. That God enabling me, we shall end the attacks on plateau, that God enabling me, we shall eradicate poverty on the Plateau, that God enabling me we shall eradicate illiteracy on the plateau. that God helping me, we will make sure that we have fantastic healthcare facilities on the Plateau, that God helping me, our children will be educated to the best level ever they can attain.
