Former Senate Minority Leader, Simon Mwadkwon, has urged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to remain united and put aside differences following the party primaries ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Speaking to journalists at his campaign office in Jos after winning the APC primary election, Mwadkwon described the exercise as a family contest and called on party members to work together for future success.

He said the APC provided him the platform to contest and emerge victorious, noting that he secured over 38,000 votes, while his closest rival received about 4,000 votes.

According to him, the primaries should not create division within the party, stressing that there were neither winners nor losers because the contest was among “brothers and sisters.”

Mwadkwon extended an olive branch to fellow aspirants, encouraging them to set aside grievances and unite in preparation for the 2027 elections.

He also congratulated Governor Caleb Mutfwang on his victory in the APC primary, stating that the governor’s performance reflects broad support across Plateau State.

The former lawmaker cautioned supporters against mocking defeated aspirants or making inflammatory remarks, emphasizing that politics should not breed hostility within the party.

On governance, Mwadkwon said leadership should prioritize humanity above ethnic or religious considerations.

Addressing insecurity in Plateau North, he expressed concern over attacks and displacement in communities such as Bassa and Riyom, while advocating for the creation of state police as a strategy to improve security through community-based policing.

He further highlighted projects executed during his time in the Senate, including classroom construction, solar-powered streetlights, and other development initiatives across Plateau North.

Mwadkwon also maintained that while both direct and indirect primaries have advantages and limitations, popularity and public acceptance should take precedence over financial influence in politics.

The Bauchi State Police Command has arrested two men over alleged possession of stolen cattle and an attempted bribery in Alkaleri Local Government Area of the state.

The suspects, identified as 26-year-old Abdullahi Adamu and 20-year-old Muktashir Idris, are residents of Jarmai Village, Dangi Local Government Area of Plateau State.

The spokesman of the command, in a statement issued on Sunday, said the suspects were arrested after two residents of Yalo Village, Alkaleri LGA, reported the rustling of 103 cattle by unknown gunmen in July 2026.

According to the statement, the complainants reported the incident at the Alkaleri Divisional Headquarters on August 6, 2026.

It said police operatives, acting on the report, proceeded to Mararaban Liman Katagum, where the complainants identified three of their missing cattle.

The statement added that a traditional leader in the area subsequently assisted the police in arresting the two suspects, who were brought to the police division on August 7.

During interrogation, Idris allegedly confessed that he was sent by his master, identified as Alaba, to sell the stolen cattle.

The police said efforts were ongoing to arrest Alaba.

The command further disclosed that the investigation uncovered an alleged attempt to compromise the case with N400,000.

According to the police, a brother of one of the complainants informed investigators that Alaba had sent him the money to compromise the case, leading to the recovery of the cash as an exhibit.

The police said the man had earlier promised to assist in facilitating Alaba’s arrest but failed to do so.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, ordered the transfer of the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department for discreet investigation.

The suspects are expected to be charged to court after the completion of the investigation.
