The Campaign Council of Senator I. D. Gyang has strongly dismissed reports circulating on social media alleging that the senator has stepped down from the Plateau North Senatorial race, describing the claims as false, misleading, and deliberately fabricated.

In a press statement issued on Monday, May 18, 2026, by the Director General, Sen. I. D. Gyang Campaign Council, Comrade Lot Adas, the campaign said the report was the handiwork of individuals attempting to create confusion within the political space and mislead the public.

The statement categorically affirmed that Senator I. D. Gyang has not withdrawn from the race and remains fully committed to contesting the Plateau North Senatorial seat in the ongoing electoral process.

It urged the public to disregard the publication in its entirety, stressing that it has no basis in fact and did not originate from any official source connected to the campaign.

According to the council, Senator Gyang remains a leading contender in the race, citing his strong grassroots support, track record of service delivery across Plateau North, and his capacity to promote unity within the party.

The campaign described the circulation of the report as a calculated attempt to misinform party members, stakeholders, and supporters ahead of the primaries.

It further advised the media and the public to rely only on verified statements issued through the senator’s official communication channels and accredited campaign representatives.

The statement also called on all registered APC members in Plateau North to come out and participate in the ongoing direct primaries being conducted by accredited party officials across all wards in the senatorial district.

The campaign reaffirmed its commitment to a peaceful, transparent, and credible electoral process as preparations continue toward the general elections.

Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala was on target as Al Hilal produced an impressive 4-0 away victory over NEOM, with fellow Nigerian international Christy Ucheibe also featuring in the convincing performance.

Sports247 reports that Oshoala continued her contribution to Al Hilal’s attacking campaign by finding the back of the net in the 65th minute, helping the visitors strengthen their advantage in a dominant display.

The Nigerian forward’s goal came during an impressive second-half performance from Al Hilal, who added three goals after the interval to complete a comprehensive victory.

Moroccan forward Ibtissam Jraidi opened the scoring in the 11th minute, giving Al Hilal an early advantage before the teams went into the break.

Oshoala doubled the visitors’ lead in the 65th minute before Manar Al-Anzi made it 3-0 just four minutes later.

Jraidi then completed her brace in the 88th minute, sealing the emphatic 4-0 result for Al Hilal.

Christy Ucheibe, Oshoala’s Super Falcons teammate, also played a part in the victory as the Nigerian duo continued to make their contributions to the Saudi Arabian club.

The result represents another important outing for Al Hilal, with the team’s attacking quality evident in the performance against NEOM.

For Oshoala, the goal provides another opportunity to demonstrate her goalscoring ability and importance at club level. The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year remains one of Nigeria’s most recognisable football exports, and her performances continue to attract attention.

The presence of both Oshoala and Ucheibe in Al Hilal’s squad also highlights the growing influence of Nigerian players in women’s football outside the country.

With the emphatic away victory secured, Al Hilal will look to build on the performance in their subsequent fixtures.
