Plateau Youth Council’s empty threats to recall Senator Dachungyang mere storm in a tea cup

By Chris Alu

No sooner does a newly elected or appointed public officer settle down in office that he or she is inundated with all manner of requests, appeals or demands for one form of financial assistance or the other, not minding if such officer has the means to oblige such demands at that material time.
Thus were the request or demand is politely declined, all hell is let loose as the public officer is pilloried, castigated or denigrated through a calculated smear campaign meant to reduce his/her estimation in the eyes of right thinking members of society.
This is exactly the case of the Plateau Youth Council, Northern Senatorial District’s recent threat to recall Distinguished Senator (Prince) Pam Dachungyang Mwadkon presently representing Plateau North Senatorial District, for spurious reasons which they could not properly articulate in their press statement only to engage in endless rambling with no coherence or correlation to their dubious allegations.
The so-called Plateau Youth Council communique could not point to a single cogent reason why they wanted Senator Mwadkon recalled because they have nothing to write home about, they are merely disgruntled because the able Senator did not do their bidding or ’empower’ them through cash handouts!
Indeed the affable Senator Mwadkon does not believe in giving people fish but in teaching people how to fish thus the PYC coterie must have been sorely disappointed when he declined to be their cash cow or ATM!
When they made several attempts to arm twist Senator Mwadkon to ‘settle’ them and he firmly stood his ground, the PYC became furious and went to town with their spurious recall threat which is nothing but a storm in a teacup, lacking in merit and utterly implausible in all material particulars.
Indeed Senator Mwadkon Dachungyang is wholly committed to delivering crucial dividends of democracy to the good people of Plateau North Senatorial District and refuses to be distracted by the rantings and musings of paid contractors, jobless praise singers and perpetual malcontents hanging around the corridors of power!
If the PYC partisans like, they can go on with their fruitless recall campaign which is dead on arrival; the plain truth is that the rugged and highly focused Distinguished Senator (Prince) Pam Mwadkon Dachungyang JP will not sucuumb to any contrived campaign of calumny and blackmail at all.
He will continue doing what he knows best; the constant and consistent delivery of democratic dividends to his beloved people, come rain, come shine.
