The commendation came during a meeting on Wednesday with PDP officials from the North Central, led by the zonal National Vice Chairman, Hon. Theophilus Dakas Shan, at Plateau House in Abuja.

He reiterated the party's mission to govern not for personal gain but for the people's liberation, voicing his expectation that the PDP will continue to be the people's party, deserving of significant involvement in its administration.

As the opposition party, the Governor emphasized the need to strive for the governance Nigerians aspire to, stating, "We must offer constructive criticism to the government and ensure the Nigerian people are not shortchanged."

The Governor announced plans to reform the party into a robust, dependable, and credible political platform that enables Nigerians to run for elections and fulfill the promise of democracy.

Hon. Theophilus Dakas Shan, the National Vice Chairman of the PDP North Central Zone, congratulated Governor Mutfwang on his electoral and Supreme Court victories. He pledged full support to his administration, noting that the Governor's unique position as the sole PDP-elected Governor from the zone.

He acknowledged the North Central's role in electing the National Chairman of the PDP by consensus before the 2023 elections.

Hon. Shan said plans were underway to hold congresses of the Party and called for unity to ensure that the process is reliable, credible, and universally accepted, thereby minimizing potential litigation. The State Chairman of the PDP Plateau State, Hon. Chris Hassan was of the meeting.
