The Permeant Secretary, Special Duties and Inter-government Affairs, Plateau State, Mr. Sunday Biggs has declared intention to contest for the 2023 governorship election in Plateau State.
Bigg said he has acquired vast knowledge to govern the state.
He said this yesterday at his home town Mangu in Mangu Local Government Area of the state, as he officially declared interest to join the governorship race on the platform of the APC.
“From a humble beginning in the civil service, by dint of hard work and commitment to the service of our state and people, I rose to the position of Permanent Secretary.
“In the course of my work and growth in service, I have been privileged to work with technocrats and public officers.
I make bold to say I have learned a lot from our leaders, past and present.
I have tapped from their wisdom, expertise and knowledge and equipped with experience to offer myself as the next chief servant leader of Plateau State.
“My work has made me interact with captains of industry, top technocrats, diplomats and a cross section of top political leaders of this country,” he said.
He said these experiences have positioned him with the understanding and knowledge of issues and dynamics of developmental governance as well as social, economic and infrastructural re-engineering.
It is based on these that my campaign mantra anchored on “TheBiggThingsComing,” speaks to the common yearnings and aspirations of most of our citizens in Plateau State.
“I have broken them into four thematic areas-which are, peace and enhanced security, agricultural development, solid minerals development and mining and social services, and critical infrastructure.
I am very mindful of the place of women, children and people living with disabilities.
“I did not mention them separately because I hold the view of our equality.
The task now is to secure the ticket of our great party, the APC. I, therefore, submit and declare interest to secure the ticket of our party.
“If given the chance to serve my dear state, I will present to our great people equality and a level playing ground for all, irrespective of tribe and religion.
“Plateau belongs to us all and together we shall make it great,” he said.
