Following the drama that eschew ahead of  2019 flag-off electioneering campaign, the Director General of the Lalong campaign team Hon P D Gyang  has threatened to resign, just as other party chieftains, cried of being sidelined in the process.

Our correspondent gathered that, while the State Chairman of the party, Chief Letep Dabang has been accused of hijacking the exercise, resorting to himself single handedly, organising press conference and doing other activities of the flag off, the DG, Arch. Dung Pam, APC State Secretary and other executive members of the party were absolutely not involved in heralding the committee process of inviting people to grace the occasion.

An executive member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in one of the electoral wards in Jos north, said they are not involved and all they know was publicity that was made on the radio that tomorrow (Friday), the campaign will be flag off.

“We are members of Excos, other members and supporters of the APC have been asking us about any arrangements, and we told them that we are not officially aware, because from the State to Local Government levels of the party no one has giving us any official information, except the announcement we here on the radio,” he said.

According to him the action of the State chairman of the party,  is threatening the road map to success of the party in the general election.

“Because already some of our leaders in the party are not happy and we are afraid that some of them would not even attend the flag off and the most annoying is that the DG is alleged to threatened to resign as DG of the campaign.

“One other thing that would even make a lot of our supporters to attend is that they chose Friday to the flag off,” he said.

The source said we learnt that even Hon. Pauline Talen, Hon. Minister Solomon Dalung, Hon. Dasuki Nakande and other national and zonal officials of the party from Plateau State were not invited for the flag off.

He added that though People are still having goodwill for the party, because of Governor Lalong and President Buhari, “so I don’t think that we will lose the election, but the State chairman of our party should know that we must work as a team.”

All efforts to gets comments from the Chairman,  Chief Letep Dabang, was not successful, as his telephone line was not reachable as at the time of compiling this report.

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshomole, said President Muhammadu Buhari, must bring former President Obasanjo, on trial over the $16b alleged to have been spent on power.

Oshiomhole further said Nigerians should not vote for Atiku Abubakar, alleging that he will, “put Nigeria on sale.”

The APC chairman made the statement yesterday in Jos, while flagging off Governor Simon Lalong’s reelection campaign.

He said: “PDP under Obasanjo with Atiku Abubakar, as vice President they spent 16 billion US dollars, in all the dollars they have spent there is darkness in Nigeria, so when President Muhammadu Buhari, says where is the power, if the President started pursuing the answer to logical conclusion they must bring and will say..”

Oshiomhole further said: “The President must bring Obasanjo on trial, we must reopen the National Assembly enquiry into the expenditure of power.”

He said when the PDP and Obasanjo accused the President and EFCC of being selective on the fight against corruption, is because they are left not probe.

“I say may be if they have asked (Obasanjo), him to explain about the 16 billion US dollars, in public judicial enquiry I am sure the man would have been busy for quite sometimes,” he stressed.

Oshiomhole said there is no reason why Nigerians should vote Atiku Abubakar, saying he will put the country on sale.

“Atiku has said he will put Nigeria on sale, he said that he will sale NNPC, you know he presided over the liquidation of the Nigeria Airways, and they did not paid the Airways workers and he wants to do it to NNPC, he wants to sale Nigeria’s crude oil in excess, will you support Nigeria been sold,” he rhetorically asked.

He urged the Plateau electorates to support the reelections of President Muhammadu Buhari, and Governor Simon Lalong, in the general elections.
