Amid the hills of Jos South, the Plateau Unity Christmas Carol and Praise Festival unfolded like a tapestry of hope, weaving together faith, culture, and leadership to ignite a vision of peace and unity.
This historic event, the first of its kind, has set a remarkable precedent for Plateau State and Nigeria as a whole, showcasing the profound power of collaboration and shared purpose.
Governor Caleb Mutfwang deserves commendation for his foresight and dedication in organizing such a monumental event.
The festival was more than a celebration of the Christmas season—it was a rallying cry for Plateau’s people to embrace their divine destiny.
In his address, the Governor painted a picture of a future where Plateau rises above its challenges, united in purpose and guided by faith.
“For too long, we have fought many battles,” Mutfwang reminded the audience. “But the time has come, and the time is now, for us to unite as a people.” His words resonate deeply in a state that has weathered storms of division.
The Governor’s optimism and resolve inspire confidence that Plateau is on the brink of transformation.
A Gathering of Titans
The festival’s significance was magnified by the presence of iconic leaders, including former Head of State General Yakubu Gowon (Rtd) and former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
These statesmen, alongside former Plateau Governors Senator Joshua Dariye and Senator Jonah Jang, represented a unifying force, demonstrating that peace and progress are achievable when leaders set aside differences for the greater good.
General Gowon’s heartfelt plea for an end to violence echoed the sentiments of countless Plateau citizens who yearn for peace.
His reminder of the sanctity of human life and his call for young people to turn toward God were powerful testaments to his enduring commitment to national unity.
Professor Jerry Gana, another towering figure at the event, described the festival as divinely inspired.
His affirmation that God’s blessings over Plateau are undeniable reinforced the shared belief that the state is uniquely positioned to lead by example in fostering peace and development.
The Role of Faith in Unity
The Christmas Carol was a vivid reminder of the transformative power of faith. Reverend Dr. Amos Mohzo’s sermon brought a profound message of reconciliation and love, urging Plateau citizens to rise above their differences and embrace the teachings of Christ.
The soul-lifting songs, cultural performances, and scripture readings were not just expressions of worship—they were declarations of unity.
In the harmonious blend of voices and traditions, one could see a microcosm of what Plateau could become: a place where diversity is celebrated, not feared.
Plateau’s Prophetic Destiny
Governor Mutfwang’s declaration that Plateau is a “city set on a hill” was more than a metaphor—it was a prophecy.
With its fertile lands, mineral wealth, and strategic location, Plateau has all the ingredients for greatness.
The Governor’s vision of harnessing these blessings for the common good is a rallying point for all Plateau citizens.
His acknowledgment that faith communities hold the key to unity is particularly commendable.
By bringing religious leaders and worshippers together under one banner, the festival demonstrated that faith can be a unifying rather than a dividing force.
A Legacy of Hope
The Plateau Unity Christmas Carol and Praise Festival will undoubtedly be remembered as a turning point in the state’s journey toward peace and progress.
It has shown that when leaders prioritize unity and faith, they can inspire a collective spirit of hope and determination.
Governor Mutfwang’s leadership, coupled with the active participation of General Gowon, Professor Gana, and other dignitaries, has set a standard for future initiatives.
The festival’s success is a testament to the resilience and potential of Plateau’s people—a reminder that, together, they can overcome any challenge.
As the carols and prayers from this historic event echo across the hills of Plateau, one message stands clear: unity is not just an aspiration; it is the foundation upon which the state’s bright future will be built.
