A Letter to the Governor of Plateau State

Your Excellency,
Caleb Mutfwang

In times like these, when the soul of our dear Plateau is bruised by recurring unrest and insecurity, I feel compelled—not just as a concerned citizen, but as someone deeply invested in the hope and future of our land—to write you this open letter.

I know that leadership, especially in a time of crisis, is not an easy mantle to bear. It is even more complicated when the powers available to you as Governor are often limited in scope, especially on issues like security that demand federal might. Yet, in the face of these limitations, I see you doing the best you can. I see a man who has not folded his arms, who is still showing up daily, working hard to restore peace and hope to our people.

Many speak from the sidelines as if governance were a walk in the park. They criticize, they mock, and they cast aspersions—forgetting that occupying that seat comes with burdens many of them could never carry. The weight of leading a state like Plateau, rich in diversity but often plagued by divisions, is one not many can understand. But I do. And I respect you for still standing tall.

I imagine that when you came into office, you had lofty dreams and big plans for transforming Plateau into a model of development, peace, and progress. I believe those dreams are still alive in you. But I also understand that insecurity has forced your focus to shift. You’ve had to battle enemies we can’t always see, manage crises that threaten to undo us, and comfort a people in constant mourning.

It is for this reason I write—not just to express solidarity, but to also say this: I see you. I acknowledge your efforts. And I pray for you. I pray for wisdom, courage, and strength to navigate these tough times. I pray that God surrounds you with loyal and competent men and women who will amplify your vision and not sabotage it. I pray for peace over Plateau State—our home.

Please don’t be discouraged. Don’t listen to the naysayers. Keep doing the work. History will remember you—not just for the battles you fought, but for the ones you never gave up on.

As a Plateau son, I will keep playing my part to change the negative narrative of our land. Through media, advocacy, innovation, and collaboration, I will keep pushing the Plateau story to the world—not just the story of its pains, but also the story of its potential.

You are not alone, sir. May God bless you and bless Plateau State.

With heartfelt support,
Jerry Doubles
