He said the council members did their best in the last eight years to serve Plateau people with integrity and passion, especially by insisting on due process and accountability.

Lalong asked the people of Plateau to forgive his administration for the perceived shortcomings in the discharge of official duties.

“As human beings, we are not infallible and cannot rule out unintended mistakes in the implementation of some policies. For such situations, we apologise to the people,” the governor added.

He wished the cabinet members well in their future endeavours and urged them not to allow politics, religion, ethnicity, or financial pursuit to divide them.
