The Man Hon.

ALLEGATION OF MARGINALISATION OF CHRISTIANS IN KANAM LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA. In civilized climes, political parties are identified based on principles and ideology, and not on whether you are a Muslim or Christian as it is been done in Nigeria. In any country where you have such recurring decimals in its polity, it represents tell-tale signs of deep-seated hate and factionalized elitism and followership ; two constant features of a country on the brink of collapse. I am so certain Kanam would not care which religion their leaders comes from as long as he or she can provide them with adequate security for their lives and properties, portable and affordable health care, solid social and capital infrastructure, quality and reasonably priced education, functional social welfare schemes, and sustainable jobs. As Kanamians, what we expect from Kanam Christian Youths in Politics(KCYP) in particular and Plateau state politicians in general is an exemplification of ‘politics based on principles’
