Mutfwang and Dariye Unite for 'Night of Living Waters': A Call for Unity and Spiritual Renewal in Plateau State

​Mutfwang and Dariye Unite for 'Night of Living Waters': A Call for Unity and Spiritual Renewal in Plateau State"

By Justin Jattim

Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang and former Governor Joshua Dariye stole the show at the second edition of the Christmas Carol at the 10 Commandments in Du, Jos South, with powerful prophetic declarations and a show of unity.


The event, which drew thousands of worshippers from across Plateau and beyond, was a grand finale of the Christmas Carol, with Governor Mutfwang declaring that "living waters will flow over our souls". Addressing the overflowing crowd, Mutfwang said the gathering was orchestrated for divine encounters, reminding participants that they came not merely to sing or dance but "to meet God and see God".

Mutfwang emphasized the need for Plateau's progress to depend on the people's willingness to put collective interest above personal or political divides. "Our differences must be subsumed under the interest of Plateau State... all we do must be for the benefit of Plateau's people," he stressed. The governor thanked church leaders for sacrificing their weekend to anchor the spiritual convocation, praising their unity and commitment to the Great Commission.

He also expressed deep appreciation to the Yeshua Kingdom Foundation and its leader, Dajon Adjan, whose vision has turned the 10 Commandments arena into a spiritual home for Plateau, Nigeria, and the global Christian community. Mutfwang celebrated both local and visiting choirs and gospel ministers, urging the audience never to look down on homegrown talents because "God has deposited grace upon our local singers".

In a lighter moment that triggered laughter, he jokingly described Abuja as Plateau's "18th local government" due to its massive diaspora population. The governor also acknowledged the presence of General Christopher Musa, who has continued to support security efforts in the state.

Mutfwang invited former Governor and Senator Joshua Dariye to the podium, introducing him as "a dear brother and committed servant of the Lord". Dariye, speaking with heartfelt emotion, thanked God for preserving his life, noting that not everyone who saw the beginning of the year made it to December.

Describing Plateau as a state that has endured "many crises and challenges", Dariye insisted that the only enduring solution lies in returning to God. Quoting Exodus 14:13-14, he proclaimed, "The Egyptians we see today, we shall see them no more", urging the people of Plateau to return to God as the only enduring solution to the state's challenges.


In a moment that drew the loudest applause, Dariye declared his unequivocal support for Governor Mutfwang. "Whether you voted for him or you didn't vote for him, you have to allow him to rule until his tenure is over," he said, urging the governor to "fear not" and pledging solidarity on behalf of all former Plateau leaders.


The event was marked by stirring sermons, music performances, and a sense of unity and purpose, with Mutfwang and Dariye setting aside their political differences to show solidarity and support for the people of Plateau. Dr. Paul Enenche was also acknowledged, and the spiritual intensity of the night was palpable as the crowd responded to the messages with cheers and applause.

​Widows Reclaim Hope Through Scarlet Cord Initiative In Southern Kaduna, trauma-healed widows are turning grief into business ideas and resilience into economic power. By Justin Jattim  A non-profit organization dedicated to the empowerment, education, and economic upliftment of vulnerable women and youth impacted by banditry, kidnapping, and insurgency in Nigeria, the Scarlet Cord Initiative, has extended its work to Gumel in Kachia, southern Kaduna. There, it held a two-day holistic empowerment programme for about 100 traumatized women. The programme included skills training, mentorship, trauma psycho-support, and advocacy. The event, which took place in a vibrant hall in Gora, began with a simple ball of yarn passed from hand to hand, weaving a visible web of connection among the 100 selected widows. These women shared the experience of losing their husbands to violent attacks. This was not a craft lesson, but the opening act of a profound tra...
