“I Amb. 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 primaries of the party held on 5 August, 2022 at Ken Palace Jos which one Dr. Patrick Dakum emerge as my replacement.
“While I find that kangaroo arrengement which is obviously borne out of desperation laughable, it is impressive no 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 I wish to reiterate that I had at no time withdrawn from the race and neither do I intend to.”
