He then persuaded the people of the state to begin to campaign for plausible leadership that will pave way for fairness, justice and accountability lacking in the present time.
Pam disclosed this yesterday in Jos at an International Peace Day, coordinated by Samuel Kwamkur Foundatio.
Marking the Day, Pam stated amid the topic “Recovering Better for an Equitable and Sustainable Plateau” ;
“It is time for all Plateau citizens to come together and speak with one voice.”
“We must leave our religion, ethnicity aside and fight the evil that is working against us.”

“We cannot solve our problems through violent approach, we must stop destroying our lives and properties in the name of revenge. We should encourage the emergence of leaders who have the interest of the people and the state at heart. ”
Pam who was heartsick about the incessant violent assaults that terminated several lives in the state called for a armistice while he travelled to Jordan for pilgrimage.
He said the state needs help at the moment, “particularly now that we have people who are looking for a meal to eat but don’t have especially those in the IDP camps. ”
“We should not solve our problem through violence, but we must approach our challenges from humanity point of view. ” he cautioned.
“Plateau State, from history is known to be one of the most serene and accommodating states in the whole federation hence our motto, ‘Home of Peace and Tourism. ”
“Suddenly, the enemy of peace came and sowed seeds of discord amongst us which is complicated by different factors to include; politics, religion, high level of criminality and systemic corruption.”
