Governor Simon Lalong of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), who emerged winner of Saturday’s supplementary
polls, is seeking the support of Plateau people to deliver the dividends of
democracy to them.
The Governor, who was declared
the winner of the polls by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
on Sunday in Jos, said the support of Plateau people and political stakeholders
would ensure the success of his mandate to develop the state.
“I am humble, I was voted again
to serve Plateau for another tenure to move it to greater heights . We need
unity and peace to move this state to the next level.
“Core values of team spirit,
mutual respect and tolerance are required for sustainable peace and a good
working relationship in the state and I promise to discharge my duties
diligently and selflessly,” he said.
Lalong commended INEC, security
agencies, the media and voters for the peaceful and successful rerun elections
in the State, saying it was one of the most peaceful nationwide.
Lalong was declared winner with
595,582 votes after beating his close rival, Gen. Jeremiah Husseini of the
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) who got 546,813 votes.
