Tasked them to embark on peaceful campaign
The Speaker of Plateau State House of Assembly and the House of Assembly Candidate for Pengana State Constituency of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Sanda has inaugurated a 140 man Campaign Council for his re-election bid.
While inaugurating the campaign council at LEA Primary School Zabolo, the speaker tasked the party faithfuls to embark on a peaceful campaign, devoid of hatred and hate speech during and after the forthcoming general election.
The Speaker noted that, membership of the campaign council, which cut across the seven wards that made up the constituency are selected based on their proven records of loyalty, hard work and acceptability in their wards.
He noted that, Pengana is the home of APC hence, the need for party faithfuls to collectively work towards returning all candidates of the party in the forthcoming general elections.
Yakubu Sanda added that the People of Pengana have never had it so good in any political dispensation, except during Lalong led rescue administration, where Sons and Daughters of the area were appointed and elected into various positions in his government.
He urged the APC party faithfuls to have a large heart of forgiveness as the party is bigger than the interest of an individual, saying the main focus is to work towards the victory of the party’s candidates at all levels of the elections.
