According JSK, revealed that the ward congresses that was planned by the National Working Committee of our party and scheduled to hold today 7th, March, 2020 did not hold in Nasarawa State.

This is sequel to the non-arrival of electoral officials and material for the exercise in all the wards across the state, Every effort made to inquire on the non-availability of party electoral officials and material proved abortive.

On behalf of ourselves as aspirants for the State Chairmanship position and our teeming supporters , we hereby put the National Working Committee and party stakeholders on notice to be aware of its attendant implications.

To this effect, any result purported to be a product of ward congresses in Nasarawa State is false, null and void and wont be accepted by us and our teeming supporters.
