The attention of the Plateau State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has been drawn to a publication tagged *"PDP'S  desperado politically sponsored media propaganda against Governor Lalong and his  APC uncovered* ".signed by the special adviser to the Governor  on public affairs who failed woefully in his local attempt to divert the peoples attention from the facts and realities presented by the PDP to the public on atrocities being committed by the apc  against the people of plateau. 


In as much as we don't intend to engage people like Diket Plang, a delusional failure and a hungry lame lion who is always driven out of pride, filled with hate and bile, who feeds on betraying people ,but, because we are shocked and saddened that people like Diket Plang who not long ago dined and wined with the PDP and even won  his ever first election to the State House of Assembly under the PDP platform has now become  the hunting dog for the APC and the dead government of  Governor Simon Bako  Lalong. What a shame 


Diket Plang must be morally bankrupt to talk the way he did about a party that picked him from the dustbin, dusted his village mentality by oiling him to what he is today. In his entire life PDP brought  him to limelight. But for lack of conscience, he lobbies for appointment from any government in power,throwing principles to the dogs " that's if he has any" .  More worrisome is his attitude of betrayal, he has been known for. There is no leader Diket will serve and at the end will not betray. He can be best described as a traitorous person. 


People are much aware that Governor Simon Bako Lalong promised Plateau people a specific kind of leadership that will be transparent and  accountable to the people. In 2015, he also promised to reduce the cost of governance particularly on unnecessary spending  if voted to power. But our state today under his leadership is starving and groaning and suffering because of lack of people oriented policies and accountability.


 With seven (7) years gone, the actions and inactions of the Governor, his party and desperate cronies like Diket have only succeeded in pulling the state further and further apart which have turned Peoples life into a zero sum game. People have spent the past 7 years anxious,hungry angry, afraid,disillusioned we all feel the fault lines of a fractured state. We hear the voices of people who feel forgotten and forsaken by its own government. We see a government that celebrates hatred and supremacy, as part of its achievement. We see a government that makes nepotism and failure soar like investment. The only  government with portfolio of greed and corruption in the history of Plateau State, this is the same government which Diket Plang is serving as a special adviser one then wonders the kind of advice that will come from a person who is bereft of ideas like Diket.


We won't waste more time responding to a person who is synonymous with betrayal. As a party we want to be engaged in honest discussions on common sense and common ground  knowing very well that our state is derailing in its heritage and on how we can move forward as a people from this current precarious situation.


The choice of 2023 will not be on deceitful and empty sentiments as it were in 2015. Plateau people will go for a leadership that will be in defence of its heritage and to the benefit of all. 

Plateau people have always celebrated and are being inspired by those who had served them successfully not those who are trying to set the state apart.


We therefore ask Diket Plang adviser to the Governor on public affairs, to explain to the people how this government has successfully spent the *#22 billion naira refund for the federal contract executed by PDP which was received by Governor Lalong in July 2018, bailout refunds put together with I GR from January 2015 to  August 2018 amounting to over one hundred and nineteen billion naira *#119,214,434,996.87* received by the Lalong's administration between 2016 to 2018, as an adviser on public affairs, let him also explain to Plateau people how this government spent the wooping sum of eight billion  *#8,046,218,450,33* on consultancy services alone?  For example one hundred and forty one million eight hundred and fifty thousand naira( *141,850,000,00*) just to investigate Jang 's  projects  which was awarded to *KPMG Advisory service*.


Also in the same vein one hundred and thirty three million five hundred  thousand naira *#N133,500,000,00* was paid to *Banksforte Global service* Ltd as disengagement fee as the amount paid for  the service will surprise you all, purchase of alum alone for water board at over *one billion naira,(1,199,940,000.00*) awarded to *Drury industry Ltd* .


The people of plateau demand to know what happened to the *three hundred and fourteen million nine hundred and seventy six thousand  nine hundred and sixty five naira twenty kobo (#314,876,965,20) contracted to  *Design tactics Ltd* to furnish the Governor's lodge in Asokoro Abuja  in 2020 and ridiculously another  *100 million naira *N100,000,000* has been budgeted for it again.


We must remind these alley rats in Plateau State APC that without anyform of prejudice, the PDP worked for Plateau people and is still ready to continue with the good work come 2023. We are not in a competition of failure with the APC  and can never be. PDP  has always been associated with successes and we promise to strive harder to protect our people and it's heritage and even beat every record we have set.


It is a big shame to all APC members who have already  been rejected by the people of plateau state to come up with a baseless story to divert Peoples attention from reality on ground. With this, they have  proven  to be the most useless bunch of people in government ever witnessed in the history of Nigerian politics. They are already jittery of the coming defeat at the polls. They should off their rotten paws rather than aggravate pains to the people who they have carelessly and recklessly raped for the past seven years (7) .The collapse of infrastructures across the state are not hidden, our roads today are death traps, corruption has eaten deep in the state, governance have been abandoned and a siege  laid against the people .


We would like to remind these bunch of halfwits that the people of Plateau are already tired of their unintelligent antics. Most laughable is their dead  castigating of the PDP especially In Diket 's  claim that some people are sponsoring PDP. The questions we wish to ask him are: who are they? Are plateau people not sensible  enough to judge without being instigated? Do plateau  people need a soothsayer to tell them that the APC has nothing to offer them? Should we not remind Diket that the party he is working for is already dead and that what ever he is lamenting on should first start from his failure as an apc member and also an appointee?

 " Never up to any good ".  Peddling one lie or the other just to please his pay master at the top will not help him


Finally, we  advice the desperate APC and it's agent to shut up and lick the congealed oil of  rejection  by the People and the final defeat awaiting them at the polls coming very soon.
