Rep Yusuf Gagdi (APC-Plateau), has called on Plateau residents to vote his party, the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the forthcoming Local Government elections in the state, slated for Oct. 9.
Gagdi, reprsentating Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency of Plateau, made the call at a rally in Dengi, Kanam local government area of the state.
Gagdi, who said that the current administration in the state had failed the people, insisting that the legacies of the immediate past APC-led government were still visible in all parts of the state.
”In the last one year, the presence of the current administration in Plateau is not felt in any part of my constituency.
”As we speak, most of the rural roads, major streets and boreholes in my constituency were either constructed by me or the past government in the state.
”I have constructed boreholes in all the polling units of my constituency, built community halls, classrooms, hospitals and many other laudable projects.
”With the visible legacies of APC in all parts of the state and what will the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) use to campaign for their candidates?,”he asked
The lawmaker advised the State’s Independent Electoral Commission (PLASIEC) to conduct a free and fair election, insisting such move would ensure all votes count.
He, however, called on APC supporters to be peaceful and law abiding before, during and after the polls, insisting that the current fragile peace in the state must be sustained.
Earlier, Mr Rufus Bature, chairman of APC in the state, thanked the people of Kanam for coming out en mass to participate in the rally.
Bature also received 1,500 PDP loyalists who decamped to the APC in Kanam.(NAN)
