APC Stakeholders Favour Plateau Varsity VC As Running Mate

July 05, (THEWILL) – The gubernatorial candidate of the APC in Plateau State, Nentawe Yilwatda Goshue, recently declared that he is consulting widely before choosing his running mate for the 2023 elections, amidst heightening schemes at the background by individuals and groups to determine his running mate.

In the latest development, Bigwigs of the All Progressives Congress in Plateau State have declared support for the Vice Chancellor of the Plateau State University (PLASU), Bokkos, Professor Yohana Daniel Izam, as the running mate for the APC gubernatorial candidate.

Speaking after their meeting in Jos on their campaign strategy and how to win the 2023 gubernatorial election, the APC Bigwigs Chairman, Saleh Mandung Zazzaga, said after extensive consultation and in-depth consideration, they have decided to come up with a candidate as Nentawe’s running mate.

He said Izam is not only an erudite scholar, educationist and professor, but a technocrat, grassroots personality, and an affable personality with the interest of Plateau at heart.

Zazzaga also pointed out that Izam’s quality is formidable, as he was in 2021, elected the 21st President of the Nigerian Institute of Building (NIOB), and that he has brought tremendous upliftment to the PLASU and the entire education sector in the state.

“Professor Izam, as everyone knows, is already a public figure, but at the same time a community leader. He is also the Secretary General of the Afizere Community Development Association and a former commissioner in the administration of Joshua Dariyes era”, Zazzagga recalled, noting also that “whether we like it or not, when it comes to community service, the masses look up to people like him.

“And with respect to the distribution of positions, particularly that affects the Northern zone”, Zazzaga noted, “it is vital to look towards Jos East and the Afizere community in particular”, maintaining that “they have been politically active and would require something to justify their massive support for voting in leaders in the legislature and executive at both state and national level, particularly the vote they massively gave the APC right from 2015.”

Zazzaga urged all party faithfuls and supporters to campaign vigorously for the party’s success, but should ensure that it is violence-free and issue-based.
