2023: Dakum Group Accuses Lalong of Fomenting LP Crisis



By Ukandi Odey

The Campaign Organization of Patrick Sunday Dakum, Gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party in Plateau State, has accused Governor Simon Lalong and the All Progressives Congress in the State of fomenting crises in the Labour Party as a strategy to undo the popularity and acceptability of its Gubernatorial candidate.
In a press release issued in Jos, the organization noted that “the Labour Party in Plateau State has Dr Patrick Sunday Dakum as its only legitimate Gubernatorial candidate and nobody else”.
The Campaign Organization said “this clarification has become necessary due to the All Progressives Congress induced crisis as it attempts to sponsor a false candidate on the Party’s platform to whittle down the rising profile of the Labour Party and its rightful candidate, Dr Patrick Sunday Dakum, in the State”.
The Campaign group warns that “anyone parading himself as the Party’s candidate other than Dr Patrick Sunday Dakum, is not only an imposter, but a complete fraud whom the law will soon catch up with”.
It noted further that “it is on record that the former LP gubernatorial candidate in Plateau State has since been replaced with Dr Patrick Sunday Dakum in a validly conducted replacement primary in Jos and Dakum’s name forwarded accordingly to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for the 2023 Gubernatorial election in Plateau State”.
Signed by Grace Zamfara, as Chairman, Labour Party, Plateau State, the statement alerted the public, particularly Plateau State people that the former placeholder was disqualified and eventually expelled from the Party.
The embattled rival Gubernatorial candidate, Yohana Margif, could not be reached for comment, although, in a press briefing Las Friday, he maintained that “in spite of all shades of name calling, ill wish and manipulations from high and low places”, he remains “the genuinely elected candidate of the Labour Party in Plateau State”
