Deputy chairman of the House of Representatives, Dachung
Musa Bagos has said the Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, who is the
Director General of the Ahmed Bola Tinubu Presidential campaign will not be
able to deliver the state to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), in
2023.
Bagos, the Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Anti
Corruption who made the claims in Abuja on Monday, said the youths have taken a
direction which requires that all political parties work hard to get votes for
their candidates.
“I want to let you know that the people of Plateau are
waiting for February 25, 2023, to pass their verdict on Governor Lalong and his
presidential candidate, Ahmed Bola Tinubu.
“I can assure you that every candidate will get votes according
to his performance, the governor has failed Plateau people in all areas since
2015, that is why he cannot deliver Plateau State to the APC and Presidential
elections, being a DG will not change the decision of the Youths and Plateau
electorate.”
Bagos who currently represents Jos South/Jos East Federal
Constituency of Plateau said apart from the poor performance of APC at both
Plateau and the national level, the youths are now, more than ever, ready to
take back their country.
“Remember, the youths constitute more than 60 per cent of
the electorates, and by the way, how can a party that has kept our youths, the
students at home for more than half a year get votes from the same people who
have been denied their right to education, the same group of Nigerians who have
no jobs, people who are pauperised, how can they vote for the APC?
“How can the youths whose parents and relatives have been
killed by terrorists and bandits, who have been displaced, give their votes
again to failed promises? This is simply impossible”, he said.
On whether the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi stands a
chance in the coming election, the lawmaker acknowledged the efforts of the
youths who are mobilizing for the former Anambra governor, saying: “Honestly,
even my party the PDP has a lot of work to do to convince the youthful voters
because the youths are working tirelessly for any possible options on
candidates not party.”
“I believe that after careful analysis and strategic
considerations, the youths will make the right choice, not based on emotions
but on logical consideration of the different voting blocks in the country”, he
added.
