Plateau State Gubernatorial Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Barr Caleb Mutfwang, has stated that all the candidates of the party contesting at all levels are on the ballot, contrary to the insinuation going around that they will not be on the ballot paper.

The gubernatorial candidate in a statement signed by the Directorate of Media and Publicity, Atiku-Okowa, Mutfwang-Piyo Campaign Council, Mr. Yiljap Abraham pointed out that the party’s candidates won their tickets fair and square in an open, transparent, and credible contest properly supervised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He added that there is absolutely no legal or political impediment to the participation of the PDP and her candidates in these crucial polls.

“Those peddling otherwise are only clever in their own eyes and have no substance whatsoever.” “Rather, the rumor peddlers are in panic mode, having sensed right from the available signs that PDP is very poised for an unstoppable victory over their own preferred candidates,” he said.

The gubernatorial candidate enjoined
party members and supporters to discard the false alarm that PDP will not be on the ballot and the lie that the candidates face having their victories annulled even after winning the election.

The Taminu Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has warned its candidates for the 2027 election against defecting after securing the party’s tickets.

Chairman of the PDP Interim National Working Committee, Tanimu Turaki, issued the warning on Wednesday.

Turaki stated that those whose names would be submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for the 2027 general election would be required to sign undertakings committing them to the party.

The warning came as the party presented Certificates of Return to 21 governorship candidates.

Turaki declared that the party had completed nominations nationwide, signalling its readiness for the 2027 elections.

“Nobody, moving forward, nobody will take our mandate to another political party and get away with it. But before we take your names to INEC, you will sign. You will sign an undertaking. What had happened before will not happen again,” Turaki said.

According to him, the party had carried out background checks and security screening on candidates as part of efforts to minimise legal and integrity-related risks.

Tinubu never promised to abandon re-election bid over power supply — Onanuga

Presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga has dismissed claims that President Bola Tinubu pledged not to seek a second term if he failed to improve electricity supply in Nigeria.

Speaking during an interview on Arise News, Onanuga said the President’s 2022 campaign remarks had “been taken out of context”.

According to him, Tinubu’s statement on electricity was conditional and not a firm commitment to forgo re-election.

Mr Onanuga explained that Tinubu has demonstrated commitment to reforming the power sector since assuming office, citing the signing of the Electricity Act, which allows states to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity independently.

He also mentioned government efforts to tackle estimated billing through increased meter distribution and other interventions aimed at improving service delivery.

While admitting that electricity supply has not yet reached the level envisioned by the administration, Onanuga attributed the challenges to longstanding issues such as gas shortages, legacy debts owed to gas suppliers, and an outdated transmission infrastructure.

He maintained that the Federal Government remains focused on addressing these challenges and improving power generation and distribution across the country.
