This was contained in a statement signed by Yiljap Abraham ,the Director of Media and Publicity of the Mutfwang-Piyo Campaign Council and made available to newsmen in Jos .
The statement reads:
“I appeal to my brother, Dr Nentawe to come Let’s work together. Plateau is bigger than all of us.
“I appeal to Governor Lalong not to dissipate energy, but he should come Let’s work together. I am not after anybody. We were not elected to probe anybody, but we were elected to make sure that the lives of the people become better. And that is our focus; that us our agenda.”
Barr Mutfwan made the appeal in a vote of thanks after receiving his certificate of return from INEC and afterward at a reception to mark the event.
He acknowledged Dr Patrick Dakum of the Labour Party for his maturity and brotherhood in putting a call through and congratulating him shortly after INEC declared him as winner of the governorship election.
“If anybody tells you this election was rigged, he is living in the sky. There’s no way we would have rigged the election. This is a vote by the people, for the people and of the people.”
He thanked those who voted for and against his team.
“The election is over. It is time for governance. It is time to put hearts together and see what is in the best interest of Plateau. How can we move Plateau forward? This should be the concern for every genuine Plateau person.”
