No One Knows Tomorrow: A short life’s lesson from Plateau
The Governor-Elect of Plateau State, Mr Caleb Mutfwang, was elected as Mangu Local Government Chairman in Plateau on February, 25th, 2014 and sworn in on March 3, 2014, but was removed from office by Governor Lalong on July 5, 2015, barely two months after he took over as governor.
Lalong, who won election on the platform of the APC had, on June 5, 2015 sacked all the seventeen elected PDP Chairmen who still had more than a year to serve out their two-year tenure and replaced them with Interim Management Committees. The Chairmen were angry and dragged the governor to court to allow them complete their tenure but the governor stood his ground and forced them out of office.
Mr. Caleb Mutfwang, who is now the Governor-Elect of Plateau State, became the face of the advocacy by the sacked LG Chairmen to reclaim their offices after he was made their spokesperson.
But as fate will turn out, the same Governor Lalong, who forced him out of office in 2015, will be handing over to him as the new governor of Plateau State, come May 29, 2023.
This classroom called life is full of lessons to make us humble in power, but many have refused to learn. They live and trample on others as if they know tomorrow, including those whose name means, “No one knows tomorrow.”
They that have ears, let them hear!
