Plateau North Minorities Demand Political Inclusiveness
Minority tribes in the Plateau North Senatorial District of Plateau State, under the Plateau North Equity Project (PNEP), have accused the dominant tribe of political marginalization, resulting in underrepresentation in political appointments. Dr. Muru Song, PNEP spokesman, stated that despite complaints to authorities, no action has been taken to rectify the situation.
He emphasized the need for a democracy based on inclusion and balance. PNEP has previously presented historical data on political position distribution to Governor Caleb Mutfwang, leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, but has seen no significant response.
As the 2027 general elections approach, PNEP raised concerns that the ongoing political dynamics could further harm minority interests. They urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC National Chairman, and state party leadership to intervene and correct the political imbalance, which they believe could impact the party's future and unity in Plateau State.
