Plateau State APC Governorship Candidate to Challenge Election Result
The All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate in Plateau state, Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda, says he will challenge in court the March 18 governorship election result as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The INEC on Monday declared the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Mr Caleb Mutfwang, as winner of the election.
Yilwatda in a statement issued by his campaign council spokesperson, Shittu Bamaiyi, said that he would not allow the collective aspirations and interests of the people of Plateau to be subverted.
The governorship candidate stated that he would be the last person to allow the people of Plateau to be short-changed in any way by its enemies.
“I am ready to go the whole hog legall in protecting and promoting the collective will and interest of the state.
“Having gone into partnership and agreement with the people to chart a new course for the state, it is unacceptable to allow the so-called result of the governorship election to stand,” he said.
Yilwatda charged his teeming supporters to remain steadfast, resilient and unshaken as sooner or later their mandate would be reclaimed.
