“Maidoya Still Remains NNPP’s Gubernatorial Candidate in Nasarawa State” – Party
Amina Mohammed, Lafia.
The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) says its gubernatorial candidate, Abdullahi Maidoya, remains the party flag-bearer in Nasarawa state.
The director-general of the NNPP Campaign Council, Barrister Innocent Lagi, stated this during a press conference in Lafia, the state capital.
“I want to use this medium to inform our people that Abdullahi Maidoya Yakubu is still in the race come March 11 governorship election.
“It appears to us that the ruling party and its candidate are afraid of our candidate,” he stated.
He advised people of the state to disregard insinuations on the social media and rumours making the rounds that the NNPP guber candidate had stepped down for Governor Sule, who is seeking a re-election, stressing that story was fake.
He explained that Maidoya and the party were not in negotiations with the APC governorship candidate, adding that the NNPP was not interested in any agreement, as the party is fully ready to go to the polls on Saturday.
Barrister Lagi, however, advised party supporters and the public to come out en masse to vote for Abdullahi Yakubu Maidoya, saying that the party gubernatorial candidate is ready to serve the state better for the peace and unity of the different ethnic nationalities.
“Maidoya is competent enough to manage the affairs of the state, if elected.
“The APC has failed in demonstrating good governance and integrity,” he added.
Lagi further urged the people of the state not to allow ethnic and religious sentiments to jeopardize the peace and unity that has existed among different ethnic groups in the state.
