The Governor made these remarks on Saturday during the Mwaghavul Solemn Assembly, Puus Dangnaan 2026 Annual Prayer Day, with the theme “Revival and Spiritual Awakening in Mwaghavul Nation,” held at Mangu Stadium in Mangu Local Government Area on March 7, 2026.

Highlighting the spiritual significance of the gathering, the Chairman of the Mwaghavul Ministers’ Forum, Rev. Istifanus Ishaya, described Puus Dangnaan as a sacred spiritual altar for the Mwaghavul Nation. He explained that the solemn assembly represents a divine appointment where the people humble themselves before God through repentance, thanksgiving, and intercession for the land.

Rev. Ishaya noted that the gathering provides a platform for spiritual renewal, calling the Mwaghavul people back to righteousness, unity, and moral responsibility. According to him, the assembly strengthens faith, restores broken relationships, and renews covenant consciousness among the people.

He commended Governor Mutfwang for his purposeful leadership and commitment to promoting peace, unity, security, and stability among the diverse ethnic nationalities in Plateau State. He added that the state has witnessed remarkable infrastructural renewal, agricultural revitalization, youth empowerment initiatives, and economic growth through several impactful government programmes.

The Mishkagham Mwaghavul and President of the Mangu Local Government Traditional Council, Daa John Putmang Hirse, described the spiritual programme as a defining moment for the Mwaghavul Nation, where the people consciously prioritize God’s virtues above material pursuits. He urged the people to remain steadfast in faith and united in Christ for the continued prosperity of the land.

Similarly, the National President of the Mwaghavul Development Association (MDA), Daa Bulus Dabit, expressed appreciation to the organizers of the spiritual programme, noting that the Solemn Assembly serves as an important platform for spiritual reawakening among Mwaghavul sons and daughters. He called on the people to remain resilient and continue to demonstrate love, unity, and collective commitment toward the progress of the community.

He also commended Governor Mutfwang for his unwavering commitment to security, purposeful leadership, infrastructural development, and the overall welfare of the people of Plateau State.

Delivering the sermon, the Guest Preacher, Rev. Dr. Benjamin Nasara, drew his text from Habakkuk 3:1–3 and spoke on the theme “Revival and Spiritual Awakening in Mwaghavul Nation” (Baa Mii Shak Ki Riin Ki Naan Nyil Mwaghavul). He challenged the people to make a firm and sincere commitment to follow Jesus Christ wholeheartedly without turning back.

Rev. Nasara urged the people not to dwell on blame for past challenges but rather return to God in repentance and seek His forgiveness in order to enjoy the blessings and fruits of the land. He emphasized that the Mwaghavul land has greatly benefited from the gospel of salvation and noted that genuine revival can only emerge through forgiveness, reconciliation, humility, and compassion—virtues that must guide the people.
