The Labour Party in Plateau State has warned its former candidate Yohanna Margie to desist from parading himself as a candidate of the party, stating that Dr Patrick Dakum remains its legitimate gubernatorial candidate for the 2023 governorship election.
It would be recalled that Ambassador Yohana Margie at a press conference on Friday said he remained the authentic flagbearer of the party come the 2023 Governorship election in the state.
He said nothing has changed from what happened on the 9th of June 2022 at Retna Suite Multi-purpose hall during the Governorship primaries election where he was elected overwhelmingly by delegates from the 17 LGA of the state.
However, the State chapter of the Labour Party in a statement signed by its chairman Mrs Grace Zamfara warned that anyone parading himself as the party’s candidate other than Dr Patrick Sunday Dakum is not only an imposter but a total fraud, whom the law will soon catch up with him.
She pointed out that the former LP Governorship candidate in Plateau State has since been replaced with Dr Patrick Sunday Dakum in a validly conducted replacement primaries in Jos adding that Dakum’s name has been sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the authentic Plateau State Labour Party Governorship Candidate.
