Lalong’s Victory: Triumph of the people’s will

Yakubu Busari

The victory of His Excellency, Governor Simon Lalong and the APC at the Governorship  Election Petition Tribunal today is, no doubt, an affirmation of the triumph of the people’s will and collective resolve, which was democratically demonstrated on April 11, 2015.

The Governor wishes to dedicate this victory to the entire people of Plateau State, who after enduring eight years of unprecedented civilian dictatorship, yearned and prayed for change and massively voted for the desired change, which has now come to stay.

The State Government, therefore, wishes to extend an olive branch to all its political opponents and urges them to come and join hands with the Governor’s Rescue Team in its Divine Mission to salvage Plateau State.

Also, Government would like to call on all the peace loving people of Plateau State to put behind them the distraction of politics and join hands with the Lalong administration in order for them to reap the dividends of democracy that are encapsulated in its five point policy thrust.

Finally, Government wishes to thank its legal team, the security agencies  and the entire people of the state for ensuring a smooth judicial process, which has culminated in today’s victory.
