March 21, (THEWILL) – A former Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Plateau State, Hon. Letep Dabang, who has decamped to the PDP, has announced plans to Invade Governor Simon Lalong’s Shendam Local Government Area to receive decampees from the governor’s APC into the PDP.
Dabang called on the PDP leadership in the State and other notable politicians in the PDP fold such as Hon. Beni Lar to join hands with him in the political mission to take over Shendam saying “the Great Movement that has commenced in the State is stopping at nothing until Plateau State is fully recaptured by, and for the PDP ahead of 2023”.
Dabang made the vow in Mabudi, Langtang South Local Government Area of the State as 12, 000 decampees abandoned the APC, citing Governor Lalong’s overbearing sense of politics, and joined the PDP.
According to Dabang, with the success of the Great Movement in Langtang South and Langtang North, thanks to Hon. Beni Lar and other PDP stalwarts in the zone, the whole of Plateau South has to surrender to the endearing principles and politics of the PDP, noting that Shendam is the only remaining area to be captured because Isaac Kwalu, a former executive chairman of the council, has already secured and brought Qua’an Pan local government area under effective PDP occupation and control.
He analysed and projected that once Shendam, Lalong’s home local government area is taken in by the PDP, the adjoining Mikang local government area will follow in a walk over effort.
For the second time, Dabang used the occasion to apologise to Plateau people over the role he played to bring the Lalong administration into being, and regretted that Lalong has not only performed woefully, but that his government policies and programmes have left Plateau State worse, taking the State several years backwards.
