Pankshin LGA Chairmanship Tussle: No Court Served Us With Restraining Order APC

Yakubu Busari

Malam Bashir Musa Sati, State the Acting Secretary Caretaker of the extraordinary committee has said the attention of the All Progressives Congress, APC is drawn to a media report alleging that there was a court order restraining our candidate from participating in the forthcoming Local Government Councils elections on Saturday 9th October 2021.

However, to put the record straight the APC is not aware of any order from any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining us from fielding candidates either in Pankshin or anywhere across the 17 Local Government Areas of the State.

He said, therefore, Mr. Katmena Goteng,  still remains the valid chairmanship candidate of the APC in Pankshin LGA, just as all our chairmenship and Councillorship candidates lawfully recognised by the Plateau State Independent Electoral Commission (PLASIEIC), remain in the contest for the elections.

We call on the People of Plateau State to disregard any false information that the APC was restrained from fielding candidates in any position.

We equally appeal to the people to come out en mass on Saturday to vote for our candidates in all the chairmenship and Councilourship positions, for the continuation of peace restoration, development, and peaceful co-existence on the Plateau.

It is also important appealing to people to remain peaceful, orderly, and calm before, during, and even after the elections.
