Plateau Will Not Return To Opposition Politics – Governor Lalong

Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong has said that the state would elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima as it continues to play prominent role in Nigerian politics by remaining in the mainstream in the next dispensation.

The governor said that the All Progressives Congress (APC), was the right answer for the continuous peace, stability and unity of Plateau State.

Lalong, who stated these at the APC Zonal rally for Plateau North Zone held at the Bukuru mini stadium, said the State has seen the significance of remaining in national politics and will not go back to opposition politics.

He therefore charged the people to vote for Tinubu and Shettima on February 25, 2023 which will usher in a period of renewed hope for the State and nation at large.

Lalong told the voters to disregard the antics of the opposition who carry a baggage of unpaid salaries, insecurity, lack of unity and unfulfilled promises, adding that they cannot be trusted with power again since they did not perform well and were kicked out.

Speaking in turn, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Idris Wase said the people of the Northern Zone have every reason to vote the APC from top to bottom because they have seen and touched the dividends of democracy within their zone and the entire State.

Also speaking, the APC Gubernatorial candidate, Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda thanked the people of Plateau Northern Zone for their support so far which proves that APC is the party that is founded on justice, equity and fairness.

Yilwatda assured that when elected, he will build on the wonderful performance of the Lalong Rescue Administration by ensuring that Plateau is taken to greater heights.

Similarly, the APC Deputy Governorship candidate, Pam Bot-Mang assured the people of Plateau Northern Zone that APC is not about religion, ethnicity or tribalism but about justice and inclusive Governance.

Chairman of the party in the State, Hon. Rufus Bature charged the members of the party to sustain the campaign tempo which will lead to a resounding victory for Tinubu, Dr. Yilwatda and other candidates of the APC.

Other candidates also spoke where they reiterated their willingness to make the people proud and ensure that democracy benefits them.

A statement by Dr. Makut Simon Macham, Director Press and Public Affairs to the Governor of Plateau State, stated that defectors were received from other parties.
