On behalf of the John Pofi Movement, the John Pofi Foundation and the Social Democratic Party in plateau state, I Amb. John Pofi wish to commiserate with His Highness the Mishkaham Mwaghavul, Da Nelson Bakfur, the Mwaghavul nation, the entire people of Mangu local government area and the good people of plateau state over the demise of Her Royal Highness. This lost is not only to the Royal family, the Mwaghavul nation nor to Mangu local government area but a national lost. The leadership style of His Highness, his humility, prompt response to issues that affect his people, his compassion and courage can no doubt be said to have come from her contributions to the throne. The demise of our mother at a time like this is quite painful, but as Christians, we have the belief that God allowed it for a purpose. We also believe that mama is resting with the Lord based on her contributions in His vineyard. I pray God to visit your Highness and the entire kingdom with His divine grace...

The blackmail was quickly nipped in the bud not with the reaction from the Senator through his media aide Mr. Parry Benson who d...
