 The Plateau  progressive  movement  have preferred , Chief Amos Gizo to replace the seat of the former Minister for Labour and Productivity ,Sen.Simon Bako Lalong in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's cabinet.

The Plateau progressive  movement  appealed to the President to consider credibility and integrity including hard work in the ministerial slot replacement for the former Minister.

In a statement signed by  the group leadership ,Song Danjuma (chairman) and Alh. Iliyasu Zakari (secretary ) said Chief Amos Gizo hails from Kanam LGA of plateau central Zone and  one of the Coordinators of Asiwaju for President 2023.

According to the statement , Gizo was  Asiwaju's political coordinator  since the era of  AD days when the President decamped to ACD, Gizo effectively used his media outfit, the City watch  Magazine for electioneering campaigns that led to   the ACD popularity.

As a front member of the Action Congress, AC, Gizo deserve overwhelming recognition for his positive contribution at the fore front of the formation of ACN. 

The group charged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to appoint people of pedigree committed  to the restoration of peace in Plateau state, also to be recalled are chief Gizo's roles at the convention in Benin that birthed the party. 

The statement stressed that Chief Amos Gizo  was the Chairman of the ACN in Plateau State  and the National coordinating Chairman of ACN Chairmen in Nigeria .

He was the coordinator/DG to Mallam Nuhu Ribadu for President 2011, Ribadu is the current National Security Adviser (NSA) to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu..

 He was National Patron/ BOT Chairman for many support groups of Asiwaju for President 2023. He has remained with Asiwaju since he joined his group  22 years ago. 

He is matured, Educated, he was a teacher from the Primary, Secondary and University levels. An elected member of the National Assembly that produced the Constitution of this country and has been a founding member of various political formations that gave birth to the third and fourth republics. 

He was the senatorial candidate for the then Plateau South of the larger Plateau with Nasarawa state.He was equally the senatorial candidate for GDM and PDP in the build up to this present dispensation  . 

He was the  Governorship Candidate for NDP and an Aspirant of 2023 Governorship in APC.
 
With the current situation on the Plateau, he is the most appropriate to be appointed Minister because his support base cuts across Party lines, he is an APC founding member with a lot of respect amongst the PDP, Labor Party and other parties.

He has the requisite experience and capacity to strengthen the APC in the state and as an elder who is well rooted in politics he will be able to bring all the factions together to form a strong united front. 

He is a respecter of justice and status quo so there will be no parallel leadership clash between him and Governor Caleb Mutfwang as witnessed between Governor Dariye and Sango and Governor Lalong and Dalung. He is a team player that can work with Governor Mutfwang to attract the Federal presence to Plateau State.

He is Nationally and internationally connected that he can attract investors to the state and the nation at large. 
Most importantly He is liked by both the Moslems and Christians despite his untouchable likeness for his people and Plateau State. 
He will be a good tool to be used for the unity and peace of the Plateau.

These are few reasons that his candidature is most appropriate at this trial moment . 

This is why we are calling on all lovers of Plateau to  support the call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to appoint Chief Amos Gizo minister as a replacement of Senator Simon Lalong.
