The Action Democratic Party (ADP), Plateau State chapter has
substituted its governorship candidate for the 2019 general election.
The substitute according to the party is to present a flag bearer with a
security pedigree aimed at tackling the insecurity problem faced by the
State.
In a statement signed by the State Publicity Secretary of the Party,
Mr. Danjuma Auta, and a copy made available to our correspondent,
explained that the replacement was borne out of the collective resolve
by the party caucus after wide consultation and strategic realignment.
Mr Auta stated that Pastor Margret Inusa who was the former party
flag bearer has also accepted to step down without any form of
bitterness or rancor, adding that Brig. Gen. Jonathan Temlong who is the
new party flag bearer has since thanked Pastor Inusa for her
magnanimity. The statement reads in part: “In the build up to the 2019
General election, Brig. Gen. Jonathan Temlong (Rtd.) has emerged as the
Gubernatorial Candidate of the Action Democratic Party, ADP in Plateau
state.
“Temlong, who was officially unveiled as the ADP standard bearer
at the State party secretariat in Jos on Monday by the National Welfare
Secretary and leader of the party in Plateau state, Hon. Samuel Gyang
before the State Working Committee, replaced the former candidate,
Pastor Margret Inusa”.
