The dusk-to-dawn curfew imposed on Jos will not affect the Scheduled lateau State PDP governorship primary, party chairman, Damishi Sango, said yesterday
“The curfew will have no effect on our plans. From our arrangement, we shall be through by 5 pm,’’ Sango, a former sports minister told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) yesterday in Jos.
The state government imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew on the state capital on Friday, following skirmishes that trailed the killing of some people in Rukuba, a settlement in the outskirts of the city.
The government statement said that the curfew would start at 6 pm and end at 6 am daily.
Sango, while reacting to fears expressed by delegates to the state congress, explained that accreditation would start in three centres from 6 am and finish by 10 am.
He said: “Voting will start from 10 am and end at noon, while sorting and counting will commence immediately.
“We expect that a candidate will emerge before 5 pm and everyone will rush home.”
He said that contrary to speculations, none of the 13 people seeking the PDP governorship ticket has withdrawn from the race.
“All the 13 aspirants are slugging it out for the ticket. The good thing is that they have agreed to support the winner,” he said.
“They have also tasked the party to conduct a transparent election and have been assured of that.”
