Dakum Campaign Group Accuses Lalong Of Fomenting LP Crisis

aiteo

September 13, (THEWILL) – The Campaign Organisation of Patrick Sunday Dakum, Gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Plateau State, has accused Governor Simon Lalong and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State of fomenting crisis in the Labour Party, as a strategy to undo the popularity and acceptability of its Gubernatorial candidate.

In a press release issued in Jos, the organisation noted that “the Labour Party in Plateau State has Dr Patrick Sunday Dakum, as its only legitimate Gubernatorial candidate and nobody else.

“This clarification has become necessary, due to the All Progressives Congress induced crisis, as it attempts to sponsor a false candidate on the Party’s platform to whittle down the rising profile of the Labour Party and its rightful candidate, Dr Patrick Sunday Dakum, in the State.

“Anyone parading himself as the Party’s candidate, other than Dr Patrick Sunday Dakum, is not only an impostor, but a complete fraud, whom the law will soon catch up with.

“It is on record that the former LP gubernatorial candidate in Plateau State has since been replaced with Dr Patrick Sunday Dakum in a validly conducted replacement primary in Jos and Dakum’s name forwarded accordingly to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for the 2023 Gubernatorial election in Plateau State.”

Signed by Grace Zamfara, Chairman, Labour Party, Plateau State, the statement alerted the public, particularly Plateau State people that the former placeholder was disqualified and eventually expelled from the Party.

The embattled rival Gubernatorial candidate, Yohana Margif, could not be reached for comment, although, in a press briefing last Friday, he maintained that “in spite of all shades of name calling, ill wish and manipulations from high and low places”, he remains “the genuinely elected candidate of the Labour Party in Plateau State.”
