Bala Mohammed said that, “On behalf of my colleague, the Chairman of the council, Governor Samuel Ortom, we are here to reposition and give support to Plateau chapter of PDP for us to win the forthcoming bye- elections” .
According to the Governor, “We are here for our party, we must thank God for what we are today as a party, it is true that PDP is the only party in Nigeria with the required experience with those who know how to lead. Plateau is PDP and PDP is Plateau” .
He further said that, “We have made arrangements to ensure we are not shortchanged in the outcome of the elections and I am optimistic that with what we are doing, we have the chances of reclaiming Plateau state.”
The Governor pleaded with INEC and security agencies to ensure justice in the process by providing a level playing ground to all the parties, assuring that, PDP is not encouraging its members to shortchange anybody in elections.
Bala Mohammed concluded saying, “I will commend the National Working Committee of the People’s Democratic Party PDP and other critical stakeholders of the party for closing rancor by ensuring unity among us which will be the key for PDP’s victory in 2023 general elections.”
