This is the peak of insensitivity to the plights of the people of Plateau State who have been yearning for credible and effective representation”.
According to the group “As a respectable group, we wouldn’t want to cast aspersions or incite the citizens against the State Lawmakers but it is imperative for the electorates to know the reason behind such obnoxious action of the Members of the Plateau State House of Assembly when Members from other States were at the public hearing defying the security challenges”.

Stressing that “Members of the National Assembly from the State, citizens of the State and the Nation considering the fact that the State hosted the exercise and the Deputy Speaker, Rt. Hon. Idris Ahmed who doubled as the Chairman of the Special Committee is from the State.”
