News reaching ViewPointNigeria suggests that the Governorship candidates of the Labour Party, Amb. Bagudu Hirse and that of the the Mega Progressive Peoples Party, Mrs. Elizabeth Yirse, have shelved their gubernatorial ambitions and have thrown their weight behind Barrister Simon Lalong.

The two candidates made their declarations at a joint Press Conference held in Jos on Tuesday, saying the new marriage is informed out of passion and desire to contribute to the strong democratic process and
unite the people of the State.

Amb. Hirse, said, “It will be fool hardy for any politician to see the strong wind of change blowing across the country and go against it.

“As an apostle of fairness, justice and power rotation, I declare to lend my support to Barr. Simon Lalong because it is the time for the southern senatorial zone to produce the next governor in Plateau
state, irrespective of the party.

Adding that, “Supporting Barrister Simon Lalong will put to an end the Tyrany and bad governance in Plateau state. He said I call on my supporters to vote massively for Bar. Simon Lalong of the APC on saturday in order to engender good governance and sustainable democracy in Plateau State.

”This declaration, I strongly believe will finally put to rest that cheap black mail that I was sponsored to play the role of a spoiler. The originators of that blackmail must by now, be hiding their heads
in shame.

Hirse berated the PDP administration in the State, stressing that in the past 8 years it has just very little to show.

He used the occasion to commend the President elect General Mohammed Buhari for his victory at the polls, and commended President Jonathan for exhibiting the spirit of sportsmanship by accepting defeat.
