GOVERNOR LALONG IS A DEMOCRAT AND FATHER TO ALL – Manjang

Plateau State Governor, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Simon Lalong and Chairman, Nineteen Northern Governors Forum, is a democrat and father to all.
As such, he does not interfere or peddle influence in the democratic choice of citizens to favour a particular person or group of persons.

State Commissioner of Information and Communication, Dan Manjang made the declaration in a statement made available to news men in Jos where he absolved the Governor of allegedly “anointing” an aspirant for the up coming Plateau South Senatorial bye election.
Manjang said as a product and pillar of democracy, Lalong is conscious of the right of citizens in making free choices at all times.
He explained that the Governor never imposed himself on the electorate but faced them each time he contested elections.

The Commissioner stated that all aspirants for the bye election are free to woo APC delegates and members for the primary election, noting that anyone who emerges winner becomes the candidate of the party and that of the Governor.

Manjang dismissed those dragging Governor Lalong’s name into the mud with regards to the APC primary election for the Plateau South Senatorial District bye election as merchants of conflict who want to cause disharmony and disrupt the peace of the party.
The Commissioner said what should pre occupy genuine APC members now is a successful primary and to reclaim the Senate seat left vacant following the death of Senator Ignatius Longjan and not throwing tissues of disaffection against Governor Lalong.
