The Governorship Candidate of the Labour Party in Plateau State, Patrick Dakum, has expressed confidence that he will emerge victorious in the forthcoming March 11 governorship poll.
Dakum said with the victory of his party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi at the February 25 poll, he is confident of emerging as the Governor-Elect of the North Central state.
“The (presidential) poll showed that Plateau State people can decide the kind of leader that they want, the kind of leader they believe will steer the ship in a very difficult situation,” he said on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Tuesday.
At the just-concluded presidential election, Obi won Plateau with 466,272 votes despite that the director general of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign, Simon Lalong is a two-term governor of Plateau. Obi was followed by Bola Tinubu of the APC who polled 307,195 votes and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who scored 243,808 votes. However, the electoral body declared Tinubu as the President-Elect having polled the highest total votes nationwide
