Jos – Chris Hassan, Plateau North chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has inaugurated a 35-man campaign committee with a charge to deliver Jos North Local Government Council to Aminu Zang, the PDP candidate in the local government polls in the state slated for February 17, 2018.
Similarly, grassroots campaigns are going on in 16 other councils of the state where the ruling All progressives Congress (APC) government of Governor Simon Lalong’s candidates for the polls and Damishi Sango of the PDP have engaged in political battle over the souls of the councils.
Hassan, a commissioner in the administration of former Governor Jonah Jang, described Zang as a man with the fear of God and a man, by his deeds, who cannot easily be pinned down to a particular religion.
He added that it was Zang’s track records that saw him through the PDP primaries where nobody came out to challenge him.
Arguing that Plateau North constitutes about 75 per cent of the state’s votes, which means that nobody can win any election within Plateau without the input of the northern zone, he said the whole Nigeria always waits for Jos North results as a beacon.
Hassan maintained that they suffered defeat in the state in the 2015 polls because of their unforgiving attitude, pointing out that they had learnt their lesson.
The PDP, he stated, is now on reconciliation mission to bring together those who left the party in annoyance. He predicted that in few months, the APC would hand over power to PDP in the state.
John Akans, publicity secretary of the PDP in the state, after pouring encomia on Zang, presented certificates of recognition to all the councillorship candidates.
The chairmanship candidate inaugurated ad-hoc committees, who will work hard to ensure PDP’s victory, noting with satisfaction that the people chosen were capable of doing the jobs assigned to them with dexterity. He charged them to discharge their responsibilities to the best of their ability.
Zang told them that whenever they vote in their various polling units, they should not leave until the votes were counted in their presence.
