Cdr. Yilchini Jan Bida (rtd)

Glory be to God Almighty! What a glorious and spirit-filled day it has been! Today, Sunday 3rd May 2026, I had the immense honour and privilege to serve as Guest Preacher at the Fund Raising Service of ECWA Agingi LC, held at ECWA Agingi LC, Off Army Barracks Road, Bassa LGA, Plateau State. The service was convened for the noble purpose of raising funds towards the building and completion of the Church Auditorium; a project for the glory of the Lord! I preached on the powerful ECWA 2026 theme: “Keep Your Lamps Burning” (Luke 12:35-40). It was a timely call to every believer to stay watchful, prayerful, and full of the light of Christ in these last days. Let’s continue to LIGHT UP PLATEAU; first with the unquenchable light of the Gospel! #KeepYourLampsBurning #ECWAAgingi #LightsUpPlateau #FaithInAction #PlateauForChrist

@BGonkal18261 Brilliant perspective

@yjbida That act of cowardice is highly irresponsible and bad. But one thing is certain things like this can only make you more popular.

THE DESTRUCTION OF MY BILLBOARDS IS CONDEMNABLE A disturbing trend is beginning to take shape in our political environment; one that must be unequivocally condemned by all well-meaning stakeholders. Recently, my billboard at the British American Junction was vandalized and destroyed. At the time, I exercised restraint, assuming it was an isolated incident. However, the subsequent destruction of my second billboard at the Secretariat Junction in Jos has now confirmed a deliberate pattern aimed at undermining lawful political expression and disrupting a peaceful democratic process. Our democracy does not deserve these kinds of actions. I therefore strongly condemn this growing trend of political vandalism and call on the security agencies and relevant authorities to immediately investigate and bring the perpetrators to justice. I also appeal to all political actors to restrain their supporters and conduct themselves within the bounds of civility, law, and democratic ethics. Plateau State deserves a peaceful atmosphere for healthy politicking; not the destruction of campaign materials. This ugly trajectory must stop immediately! #LightsUpPlateau #PlateauDeservesBetter #EndPoliticalVandalism Cdr. Yilchini Jan Bida (rtd) APC Gubernatorial Aspirant, Plateau State

@MrSambo01 This is a very apt request. Stay tuned and watch this space.

@yjbida Well said. Sir, do you have like a working document or a blueprint of your plans for the state? Something we can have at our disposal and refer to.

Happy Workers’ Day, dear Plateau workers! Today, I salute every farmer, trader, artisan, civil servant, teacher, health worker, and young entrepreneur who rises each day to build our State despite the odds. Your sweat, resilience, and unwavering hope remain the true foundation of Plateau. Under the LIGHTS vision, I give you my solemn word: we will build a Plateau where employment opportunities multiply, where businesses thrive without fear or unnecessary bottlenecks, and where startups receive real support through incentives, seed funding, skills training, and empowerment packages that turn ideas into thriving enterprises. No more empty promises. We will also prioritize the security of lives and property, ensuring that every worker can go about their daily hustle in peace, every business can operate without fear, and every community can sleep with confidence. Security is not optional, it is the foundation of growth and prosperity. Together, we will create an economy that rewards hard work, protects your rights, and opens doors for every willing hand. The healing, security, and inclusive growth you deserve are within reach. Let this Workers’ Day mark the beginning of the change we have all been praying for.

@gupar89 Thank you very much

@yjbida We're rooting and supporting you for the position of the governor of plateau state.

My dear people of Plateau, ENOUGH is ENOUGH! The blood of our brothers, sisters and children has cried out for too long, from Bokkos, to Barkin Ladi, Mangu, Riyom, Jos and beyond for far too. Our mothers’ tears have soaked this soil over and over again, with no foreseeable end to it. Fear has replaced peace in our homes, markets and farmlands. But today, I bring HOPE to our people. In this video, I demanded the urgent deployment of modern CCTV cameras and intelligent security systems across our flashpoints, markets and farmlands. We shouldn’t react to tragedy. We should anticipate and prevent it. As a retired Naval Commander and your APC Gubernatorial hopeful, I give you my solemn word: 1. We shall fight for every drop of blood and will be proactive rather than reactive in the protection of lives and property. 2. Establish a Security Trust Fund. 3. Review of Plateau’s Peace and Security architecture. 4. Setting up of the Plateau State Victims Support Fund. 5. Ensure the safe return, resettlement and rehabilitation of IDPs. 6. Convene a Plateau Peace and Security Coordination Summit. 7. Establish priority LGA peace and security coordination platforms. 8. Launch a public crisis communication and rumour management mechanism. 9. Publish a baseline state conflict, recovery and displacement map. We intend to give Plateau State a disciplined statewide project for protection, healing, justice and renewal. LIGHTS is a movement to secure Plateau, Heal Plateau, restore dignity to victims, rebuild trust in governance, and renew the future across all 17 LGAs. Let’s do this together. #LightsUpPlateau #SecurePlateau #EndKillingsNow #Plateau2027 #ValueHumanLife

@Leedee43146811 Amen! Thank you very much

@yjbida May God grant your heart's desires. We need this passionate for selfless service. True qualities you possess.

Dear Hardworking Traders and People of Plateau State, I see you. I identify with your daily struggles and fully understand the pain of being displaced from your markets and places of business without any suitable alternative provided. Development and infrastructure are critical for the growth of our dear Plateau; but never at the expense of our hardworking citizens who depend on these markets for their livelihood and the survival of their families. Closing down markets without creating a conducive trading environment is not progress; it is a setback for our people. Your voices matter. They have been heard loud and clear across Plateau. It is time to change the narrative and build a system that truly supports, protects, and empowers every trader, taxpayer, and citizen of Plateau State. A vote for me is a vote for a better, more supportive trading environment and inclusive development that puts our people first. Support APC. Support Cdr Yilchini Jan Bida (rtd).
