“The reward for dedication and loyalty is manifest in the appointment of Hon. Cecilia Yilkorah as a member of the Plateau State Executive Council to be the Commissioner for Tourism, Culture, and Hospitality.

Hon. Cecilia has been a steadfast party woman who has paid her dues in the growth of the All Progressives Congress (APC), not only in her Kanke Local Government Area but the state in general through women mobilization and charitable activities.

It is on this premise that I join thousands of your well-wishers to congratulate you on this milestone and wish you success in this tasking responsibility of nation-building.

I never doubted your ability to deliver on this mandate, having worked closely with you as one of my most trusted aides in the past three years.

Like the aphorism,” a golden fish has no hiding place”, your sterling qualities are sparklingly astonishing. I pray this appointment serves as a springboard to greater responsibilities ahead.

Once more, congratulations!”

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has asked President Bola Bola Tinubu to learn from former presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari, saying they never deregistered opposition political parties.

Atiku made the call on Saturday in reaction to an attempt to deregister the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, through the courts.

The former Vice President said attempts to restrict political competition run contrary to democratic principles and could erode public confidence in the electoral process.

“Former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari never deregistered opposition political parties. Copy and learn from them.

“If you’re truly popular and your policies have positively bettered the lives of the citizens, you shouldn’t be afraid of a free and fair competition,” Atiku said.

The State Police Command confirmed the incident which happened in the Oluode-Aranyin area of the state.

The attack is said to have heightened concerns as rival political camps clash across the state.

The victim, who survived the shooting pointed out that he was targeted by the thugs because he was wearing a political cap associated with the APC candidate.

“I put on the AMBO crested cap when the shooting occurred. Everyone ran to safety and they pursued me because I was wearing the APC candidate cap. I did not wait but was shot. I cried for help before they retrieved back into the vehicle and drove away,” he said.

The spokesperson for the State Police Command, Abiodun Ojelabi, stated that an official investigation has already commenced to unravel those behind the attack.

Recall that the police, alongside other security agencies and electoral stakeholders, convened a peace meeting to encourage political parties to commit to a peaceful campaign and election.
