Plateau South All Progressives Congress stakeholders have supported state governor Simon Lalong as their candidate for the senatorial seat in the district ahead of the 2023 elections.
On Tuesday in Jos, APC stakeholders from the three local government areas of Quan-Pan, Shendam, and Mikang met with Laong and requested the governor to give in to the people’s demand and run as the party’s candidate in the upcoming general elections.
While expressing the forum’s views, Chairman Joseph Ari stated that all stakeholders, including youth and women groups and other members of the party, were happy with the governor’s performance in the state.
This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen on Wednesday.
The statement quoted Ari as saying, “Gov Lalong has impacted positively on the lives of our people and we call on all lovers of peace to support him irrespective of party affiliation in order to benefit from his wealth of experience and varied contacts.”
The motion was seconded by the Majority Leader of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Naanlong Daniel.
Ari, who is the current Director General of the Industrial Training Fund also extended an invitation to all supporters and well wishers of the governor, to grace the formal presentation of the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms to Lalong on Saturday 7th May 2022, in Shendam, headquarters of Plateau South Senatorial Zone.
