The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Turaki faction in Plateau State, Hon. Sunday Garba Biggs, has criticised the performance of Governor Caleb Mutfwang, saying the governor has failed to meet the expectations of the people.

Biggs, who hails from Mangu Local Government Area, the same council as Governor Mutfwang, said he decided to contest the governorship because of what he described as a leadership vacuum in the state.
Addressing journalists at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Press Centre in Jos, Biggs said there was much to be desired from the current administration, insisting that Plateau State deserves better governance.

According to him, Governor Mutfwang has performed below expectations, despite the confidence reposed in him by the electorate.

“The fact that Governor Mutfwang is my kinsman does not mean I should not challenge him if I believe I can offer better leadership. Plateau State is bigger than any individual, and the people deserve quality governance,” he said.

Biggs expressed confidence in his ability to deliver improved leadership if elected governor, stating that he possesses the vision and plans needed to move the state forward.
Speaking on the crisis within the PDP, he maintained that despite the existing factions, the party remains intact and would eventually reunite.

“The PDP is still one family. The current disagreements are temporary, and the party will emerge stronger and united,” he said.
Reflecting on his service as Director of Protocol and later Permanent Secretary under the administrations of former Governors Joshua Dariye, Jonah Jang and Simon Lalong, Biggs said he had positively impacted many lives without seeking public recognition.

He pledged to adopt a different approach to governance and urged Plateau residents to support his governorship ambition.

On the role of former governors in his political journey, Biggs said he holds them in high regard and would continue to seek their counsel, describing his aspiration as a collective “Plateau Project.”

Commenting on insecurity, he described it as a national challenge affecting many states, including Plateau.
According to him, a fresh approach is needed to tackle the problem, noting that communities must also play active roles in securing themselves rather than relying solely on security agencies.

Biggs reiterated his support for the establishment of state police, arguing that the initiative, which gained momentum in Plateau, has now received national attention.

He also acknowledged that political power can be intoxicating but pledged not to allow it influence his conduct if elected.
“I will serve only one term of four years if elected governor. Power will not intoxicate me because my focus will be on delivering results for the people of Plateau State,” he said.
