Jang swear-in a Factional PDP Chairman
Bayo Alabira, Joss
Another trouble in Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Plateau state chapter has just loomed in, as Governor Jonah David Jang inaugurated his factional chairman, in person of Dr Haruna Khitwe Dabin, who replaced the former chairman Professor Dakum Shown who was appointed Adviser on Political Affairs to the governor.
In his acceptance speech, the new chairman of the factional PDP, Haruna Dabin has appealed to their supporters to rally round the newly constituted PDP Executive members to void another dissolution of the members as it happened before due to the “so-called intra-party squabbles”, which has only produced more heat than light for the people of Plateau state.
According to him that, “We have had untold bloodletting in our land and our people have continued to be hunted and hacked-down mercilessly in their land, for how long will these troubles continues.”
Stressing that, there is a new dawn in the PDP Plateau state as “no winner, no vanquished, so permit me to repeat here-that at the end of the fierce struggle for the soul of the party in the state, there is no winner, and no loser, but Plateau people chapter have become the stronger and will continue to occupy the inevitable place as the defender of truth and justice in the nation”.
When contacted, the former governor of the state, Chief Joshua Chibi Dariye said governor Jang is a joker, because the other PDP members have no business with the chairman that was sworn-in yesterday, as he belongs to a factional of the party.
According Dariye that the National Secretariat of the PDP was not aware of the “so-to-say swearing in of Haruna Dabin as the state party chairman, because none of the national exco was present at the occasion. “Therefore, all I know that there is going to be congresses in Plateau state whether they like it or not, that is the only way out for the state”.
The inauguration was performed yesterday at the factional PDP secretariat, Korinjo House along Dogon Karfe Jos, by Barrister Lawrence Anyia of the Shalom Chambers, before governor Jang who was there life as observer and other prominent members of the faction
However, most of the local government chairmen and House of Assembly members were absent during the factional chairman swearing in occasion yesterday, because they shunned the occasion to avoid being considered by the national secretariat as lawless PDP members, our man gathered.

Bomb scare stall court proceedings in Jos
Bayo Alabira, Jos
Court proceedings and other business activities were disrupted yesterday morning at the state High Court Jos Plateau state capital, as staff and people made desperate move to leave the promises of the court to save their lives when the runours of possible Bomb explosion in the complex was made.
However, nobody has agreed to speak to this reporter at the promises of the High Court, but people were seen rushing to different directions leaving the promises, before they could be cough up with the impossibility that will cause them their lives.
According to the rumours that the Bomb was planted in the complex of the building, but the exact place or portion where it was planted was not known which made it very difficult for anybody to hang around and ask questions, rather people were rushing to leave the place in helter-skelter note.
One of the staff who declined to made comment earlier, but later said all of them were inside their various offices when they were alerted by the security men who were at the spot and barricade all the entrances to the promises of the court and the uniform men who were also there and condoned the entire area.
Therefore, all staff of the court left except the security men that were there to conduct search, one of State Security Service (SSS), told Peoples Daily that they were conducting search in all the offices of the building based on the rumours they received, and could not say anything more than that.
When contacted, the Spoke man of the Special Task Force, Lt. Co. Kingsley Umoh said when he confirm the incident he would let the press know. Although there was no explosion yet, but the issue was the talk of the town. And all effort to speak to any officer of the court failed as nobody was ready to talk
