Distinguished gentlemen of the Press,
Greetings!
I am here as the PDP Flag bearer in Plateau to share with you
a few of my thoughts and convictions on
some political developments in our dear State.On Saturday, February 23, 2019, the people of Plateau voted
in national elections to elect President and members of the national assembly.I thank our people for supporting the PDP to have a
convincing win in the presidential election.I know that the elections were peaceful.
However, there were many problems at collation centres in
many placesResults of our supporters in various units in Qua’an Pan,
Wase, Kanam and Jos North LGAs were cancelled without good reasonsWe are not happy about this situation.
And we are working hard to get justice.
But on Saturday, March 9, 2019, we are all trooping out again
to elect the governor and members of the State house of assembly.In some areas, there will be re-runs.
Nevertheless, as the gubernatorial candidate of our party, I
am concerned that some of our members and supporters are very angry and
disappointed that their votes did not count in the last elections.And so they say that they will not vote in the governorship
election.I can understand why they are feeling this way.
I am also upset that we as a party and as a state were
cheated in different places.But staying away from voting this week is definitely not the
solution to our disappointmentIt will only make matters worse
So I plead with our supporters not to stay away from the
pollsShould they allow themselves to accept defeat?
I must say it here clearly that we are here to win, not to
surrender.As the person leading the rest of Plateau to Restore our
state, I promise to stand by the people and protect their votesI have been briefed on the many funny and strange
manipulations APC is working on right
now to rig Saturday’s elections.And I must therefore warn very seriously: I WILL NOT TOLERATE
THE RIGGING OF THIS ELECTIONWe are keeping very close surveillance on the electoral,
security, government and party personnel playing any role in the electionPlateau people have clearly spoken in the past Local
government and now national assembly
elections that they are tired of this APC governmentNo one, no matter how privileged or highly placed has the
right to try to force this non-performing administration on Plateau
people.We want our freedom and dignity.
And we will get it through this election.
I therefore ask the people not to fear anyone in uniform, but
to respect them in their work – that’s allWe must watch these electoral officers closely. They should
not play games with our destinyWe cannot allow them to cheat us again.
Plateau, I appeal to you: Let us come out in very large
numbers and vote again on Saturday, May 9, 2019Your vote for me will bring me to office to Restore your
securityYour vote for me will help us to work together to fight
poverty and Restore prosperity to Plateau StateYour vote for me will help us Restore more opportunities for
our young people and womenNow, I will say something and say it loud and clear: I WILL
SERVE FOR ONLY ONE TENURE…A TENURE OF FOUR YEARS!And I know that together with the people of Plateau, we can
achieve alot within those four yearsSo, I plead with you:
DO NOT BE AFRAID
INSTEAD BE BOLD
I call on our people:
COME OUT AND VOTE.Vote for PDP
VOTE FOR ME, Senator Jeremiah Timbut Useni as Governor of
Plateau State.Thank you
God bless us all.
