LG Polls: Gov. Sule, others solicit votes for APC candidates

Gov. Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, and other stakeholders have urged electorates to vote for candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming local government elections.
The stakeholders made the plea on Wednesday in Keffi during the APC campaign rally ahead of the LG polls slated for November 2.
Mr Sule urged the members of the party not to take other political parties for granted but to mobilise support for the party.
“I want to urge you to come out en masse and vote APC candidates during the election.
“I appeal to you to vote APC from top to bottom, from bottom to top, from left to right, and right to left,” he said.
The governor thanked stakeholders for the peaceful conduct of the primary election of the party via consensus and urged them to do the same during the elections.
He disclosed that the party would refund nomination and expression of interest forms fees to chairmanship and councillorship aspirants that lost out during the primary.
Danladi Jatau, speaker, Nasarawa State House of Assembly, expressed optimism that APC would record a landslide victory.
Mr Jatau said that Mr Sule’s achievements would catapult the party to victory.
“We are fully prepared for the election, and all the aspirants that lost during the primaries have agreed to work together for the success of the party,” he said.
Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, former APC national chairman, called on the people to support Gov. Sule to succeed.
He advised them to demonstrate their support by voting massively for the APC.
Aliyu Bello, APC state chairman, presented the chairmanship candidates to Mr Sule.
He urged all those that lost during the primaries to join hands with the winners for the progress of the party.
