From Gyang Bere, Jos
Candidate of Labour Party in Plateau State, Yohanna Margif, said he will not relinquish the governorship ticket of the party.
He noted that some politicians had approached him to relinquish the ticket for them but said he was in the contest to provide development for his people.
Margif disclosed, yesterday, in Jos whole briefing newsmen on alleged emergence of Patrick Dakum during a fresh party primary he considered as kangaroo.
“I, Yohanna Margif is and remains the standard bearer of the Labour Party ticket on the Plateau. No doubt, some individuals had approached me, requesting that I relinquish the hard earned ticket to them but being the serious-minded politician that I am, I felt it will be unwise to toy with the party mandate and the people’s trust hence my stern refusal to grant their wishes.
“Surprisingly, while I was strategically going on with my campaign, my attention got drawn to a purported governorship primary of the party on August 5, 2022 at Ken Palace, Jos, which one Patrick Dakum emerge as my replacement.
“While I find that kangaroo arrangement which is obviously borne out of desperation laughable, it is impressive to set the record straight lest our tremendous fellowship be misguided. I wish to reiterate that I had at no time withdrawn from the race and neither do I intend to,” he said.
Margif said he is determined to transform the security and intelligence architecture for peace and unity of Plateau and ensure justice for all by observing the rule of law.
He expressed hope that he will build road, housing, water sanitation, power and broadband infrastructures among others to advance development in the state.
