SENATOR I. D. GYANG SAYS PLATEAU NORTH AWAITS JUSTICE FROM THE NATIONAL WORKING COMMITTEE OF THE APC.
The recent developments surrounding the APC Senatorial Primary Election in Plateau North have raised serious concerns among party faithful and lovers of democracy.
It is deeply troubling that members were denied the free and fair opportunity to elect the candidate of their choice through a transparent democratic process.
The foundation of every credible democracy rests upon the sanctity of the people’s mandate, internal party democracy, fairness, and due process.
While political leadership and influence remain legitimate within party politics, the imposition of outcomes against the popular will of party members weakens confidence in democratic institutions and risks alienating loyal stakeholders who have laboured tirelessly for the growth and stability of the party.
It is public knowledge that the Senatorial primary elections were not conducted in Plateau North. Rather, results were concocted and allocated to suit a predetermined outcome. It would therefore be injurious to, and a negation of good conscience and the fear of God for anyone to assert the contrary.
The strength of the APC has always been its people — the grassroots members whose voices and votes must never be substituted by predetermined arrangements.
We have noted that the national chairman of the APC has clarified that the National Working Committee is studying the reports of the Appeal Committee on the conduct of the National Assembly primary elections after which the right thing will be done.
In view of the foregoing, we urge our supporters and party faithful to remain vigilant and peaceful as Plateau North awaits justice from the National Working Committee.
Our position is predicated and rooted in the defence of justice, equity, and the democratic rights of APC members and the people of Plateau North.
Comrade Lot Adas
Director General
I. D. Gyang Campaign Council.

WAFCON 2026: Super Falcons Coach, Madugu Opens Up on Players’ Selection, Tactics Ahead of Crucial Zambia Clash
Super Falcons head coach Justin Madugu has defended his player selection and tactical decisions ahead of Nigeria’s crucial Group C encounter against Zambia at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The ten time African champions are under pressure following their disappointing 3-2 defeat to tournament debutants Malawi in their opening match.
The outcome of that has intensified scrutiny of the coaching crew’s team selection and tactical approach.
Speaking during his pre-match press conference on Friday, Madugu insisted that every selection is based on players’ performances in training, tactical requirements and the specific demands of each opponent.
“We have very versatile players in this team. Every player selected is chosen for a reason,” Madugu said.
“The choices we make are based on what we observe in training, the physical condition of the players and the tactical plan for each game. We take full responsibility for every decision.”
The coach acknowledged the disappointment of the opening defeat but maintained that Nigeria still controls its destiny in the competition.
“We still have our fate in our hands. We have corrected the mistakes from the last game and we are fully focused on the challenge against Zambia,” he added.
Madugu also revealed that the technical crew has worked on tactical adjustments aimed at improving the team’s defensive organisation and attacking efficiency ahead of the must-win fixture.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie and forward Uchenna Kanu expressed confidence that the squad has moved on from the setback against Malawi.
Nnadozie urged Nigerians to continue supporting the team, insisting the players remain united and determined to bounce back, while Kanu said the atmosphere in camp remains positive despite the opening loss.
Nigeria face a formidable Zambia side that began their campaign with an emphatic 6-0 victory over Egypt.
Victory for the Super Falcons would revive their hopes of reaching the knockout stage, while another defeat would leave their qualification chances hanging by a thread.
