Press Release: Rev. John Pofi Campaign organization challenges PLSG to implement petition by Bokkos women after protest

PRESS RELEASE

The John Pofi  Governorship Campaign Organisation under the Social Democratic Party wishes to commend the resilience, doggedness, focus, commitment and boldness of the Internally Displaced Women of Daffo, Bokkos local government area who painfully left their "comfort" zones to come to Jos the state capital and voice out their displeasure over the merciless killings in their communities.

What these women have done under the leadership of Mrs Comfort Matawal is what the John Pofi Campaign Organisation has been clamouring for from the peace loving citizens of plateau state. We must unite against any form of terrorism, injustice and ethnic cleansing.

We must make it abundantly clear that while we do not subscribe to any violent means of conflict resolution, we encourage our people to always come out and speak against evil in our society, Evil is Evil.

We therefore appeal to other communities in plateau state to follow suit and peacefully take to the streets whenever their rights are infringed upon.

While we wait and watch patiently for the action of the Plateau State House of Assembly haven received a formal petition from the poor women, we hope they will not receive the petition and keep it to gather dust on the shelf like many others before it.

This pathetic sight in a state where peace is said to have been restored is a clear reminder that peace is still alien in the state.

This will also serve as a clarion call on the state government to TRULY work for peace since peace which seems to be within is still far away in a distant land.

Reverend John Pofi, JP who has been working for peace in and outside plateau state is the best man for the job.

We wish Plateau people eternal peace.

Yours in selfless service,
Rev John Pofi, JP

SDP Governorship aspirant Amb. John Pofi clamps down on Gov. Lalong for unfilfilled campaign promises

The recent visit by Governor Simon Bako Lalong to the state secretariat is a good morale booster to the engine room of government.

We in the John Pofi Campaign Organisation wish to make it clear to the innocent civil servants in the state not to jubilate yet as  such visits which would have served that purpose, can only do so when done at the right time at least once a year.

This is the same person who once told the civil servants that he will be going to the state secretariat to interact with them regularly but sadly, the first time he went there briefly was few days to clocking three years in office.

We view this visit as not only deceptive but an unintelligent campaign tour.

It is time my good people of Plateau state shine their eyes and see the antics of this clueless administration which always based its human capital development on payment of salaries.

It is only logical that when you work even if it is for the devil, you should be given your due as at when due. So, to count payment of salaries as achievement is not only laughable but a charade.

We in the John Pofi Campaign Organisation under the Social Democratic Party have nothing against the governor of Plateau state, but we are acutely aware that posterity will be harsh on us if we see doom and remain tongue tied just as in the words of the fiery and renowned Archbishop Emeritus of South Africa, Desmond Tutu that, "if you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."

Fully armed with the unbiased judgment of history, we will not rest but chose the path of the people (the oppressed) that is why we are telling our esteemed civil servants to beware and not be carried away by the sweet drums of 2019 politics by repeating the same mistake they made in 2015.

John Pofi stands in between the young and the old, with clear vision that will take us to the Plateau of our dream.

Remain blessed, the peace loving people of Plateau state.

It's your servant,
Rev John Pofi, JP
Governorship Aspirant, SDP Plateau State.

Popular Human Rights activist IG Wala backs founder of Sahara Reporters Sowore for Nigeria's president

On his official Facebook page, I.G Wala wrote:

THE REVOLUTIONIST IS HERE!
When Omoyele Sowore started Sahara Reporters, most of those he approached for collaboration told him not to waste his time because it will not work. But at the end, same people came begging to be part of it. Sahara Reporters is the continental voice of democracy and a voice to Nigerians. The uncompromising Sowore has since declared his intention to contest the 2019 Presidential Seat. This decision is giving the corrupt & thieving elites a sleepless night already. Remember when he was paired recently with the analogue Minister of Communication that lack good manners of communication on media. Sowore's declaration is a call for the true political revolution that will retire the failed generation of those that have continued to wreck havoc to Nigeria's economy. Enough of empty promises, enough of ruining the future of the teeming youth of this great country of ours and enough of bloodshed as a result of sheer recklessness.
THIS IS TO WELCOME THE REVOLUTIONIST COMRADE IN THE STRUGGLE TO THE FEDERAL CAPITAL TERRITORY, ABUJA. #TakeItBack
