Senator Diket Plang Rejects Outsider Influence in Plateau

Diket Plang, the Senator representing Plateau Central at the National Assembly, stated that Plateau State will not permit outsiders to determine its governance. He emphasized the state's rich human capital, including military, academic, and political leaders, capable of effective leadership.

Plang's remarks were directed at alleged intentions by the Nyesom Wike-led Rainbow Coalition to install a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governor in the upcoming election. He criticized the notion that external influences could dictate the state's leadership, calling it an affront to Plateau's honor and leadership role in the Middle Belt.

Plang urged residents to unite and ensure the people's will is respected in the political process. He expressed confidence in President Tinubu's potential for a second term, defending his policies as forward-looking and dismissing opposition as fragmented.

Plang identified security, transparency, and political conduct as essential for a successful democratic process.
