From Yakubu Busari, Jos
Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State has said that decisions taken by his administration are in the best interest of the State and not to satisfy any personal or group interest other than that of the people he has sworn to protect and serve.
Governor Lalong who stated this on Friday at the October monthly prayer and fasting session held at the Chapel of Grace, Government House Chapel, Rayfield
Jos, urged the citizens to not only pray for those in authority but also support them with ideas that will provide solutions to challenges of the society.
According to Dr Simon Macham, his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Lalong said he would do everything that is needed to ensure “that the peace that we have today is maintained and improved upon because when there is peace, there will be investment and prosperity which will reduce crime”.
He said; “We need you to continue to pray for us and encourage us. We are not angels nor are we infallible. Even if we make mistakes, ask God to help us correct them, but I can assure you that we are always consulting with people to find solutions to our problems.
“The issue is that some people prefer to criticize but hardly bring any solution on the table even the one they vehemently choose to castigate”.
Chaplain of the Government House Rev. Fr. David Ajang in his homily asked the people of Plateau State to reflect on why God endowed the state with abundant natural and human resources that are the envy of people within and outside the country.
The monthly prayer holds every last Friday of the month.
