The recent brouhaha surrounding Mr Lengs Dakwal and the Elder Statesman, Hon Casmir was almost hijacked by party diehards and tribal jingoists who wanted to cash on the situation to whip up party and tribal sentiments, but I thank God for His intervention as the true Plateau spirit of brotherliness and tolerance was manifested once again. This is a good lesson to all Plateau youths and elders that no matter our differences we are one in brotherhood.
It’s not a matter of who won, but I’m happy that at last the fifth columnists were disappointed. And God won!
I have emphasise again and again that no matter your political party or tribe, we must learn to Put Plateau First, because God did not make a mistake by creating all of us on the Plateau irrespective of our differences. Let love always lead my fellow Plateau brothers and sisters.
In conclusion, I’m always encouraged by the words of Jesus Christ in Mathew 5:9 that says:
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Matthew 5:9 KJV
May God continue to bless Plateau the Beautiful!
