Despite the increasing discontentment among members over the alleged controversial primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateau State, Dr Nentawe Yilwatda, the governorship candidate has picked the Commissioner of Works in the state, Hon Pam Botmang, as his running mate for the 2023 governorship race.
Unveiling his running mate at the APC Seceteriat in Jos, Nentawe said, “I am happy to announce that I have picked Botmang as my running mate in the 2023 governorship election in Plateau State.
“I wish to therefore, call on the good people of Plateau State to support the choice of Botmang as my running mate. I also enjoin them to come out en-masse to vote for our ticket during the forthcoming 2023 general election.
“Your mandate in 2023 will enable us to build a peaceful, prosperous, and greater Plateau State.”
Nentawe said zoning as well as integrity was critical.
He thanked the APC for finding him worthy as their candidate, promising not to let the party down despite the increasing fears of the crisis that ensued during the primaries that selected him may lead to the collapse of the party in the state.
Nentawe said he is working towards uniting all members of the party in the state, so that it would emerge victorious come 2023.
Speaking earlier, the chairman of the party in Plateau, Honourable Rufus Bature said the campaign for their governorship election would be rancour free.
“APC has the best governorship candidate and we would market him to the people of Plateau, everyone would be carried along,” he said.
