A governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Plateau, Kefas Ropshik, has said that the state deserves a leadership rooted in sacrifice, development and service.
Speaking on Monday after submitting his governorship nomination forms at the national secretariat of the PDP in Abuja, Ropshik said his ambition is driven by responsibility and competence.
The aspirant was accompanied to the PDP secretariat by members of his campaign council, political associates, youth supporters, and party loyalists.
Ropshik also met with Abdulrahman Mohammed, the factional national chairman of the PDP, during the visit.
In an interview with journalists, he said, “My ambition is not driven by politics for its own sake.
“It is driven by responsibility, by experience, and by the conviction that Plateau deserves leadership that understands sacrifice, development, and the true meaning of service.
“There is an old wisdom that says, if a man offers you a gift, first look at what he is wearing to know whether he can truly afford what he seeks to give.
“In the same way, when anyone offers to lead a people, it is only right to examine how they have built their own life, their character, their enterprise, and their capacity before entrusting them with the destiny of a state.
“Leadership is not what is proclaimed; leadership is what is proven”.
The PDP aspirant said his governorship ambition is centred on improving opportunities and economic development in Plateau state
“Today was not about a form, nor about a personal milestone — it was, above all, about the people of Plateau.
“Every decision, every sacrifice, and every aspiration in this journey is centred on building a Plateau where opportunity is abundant, enterprise is nurtured, and every citizen has the dignity to thrive”, he said.
