APC reps candidate appeals for calm

- By Balarabe Alkassim

The All Progressiv­es Congress (APC) House of Representa­tives’ candidate for Lafia/Obi Federal Constituen­cy of Nasarawa State, Abubakar Sarki Dahiru, has called on his supporters to remain calm ahead of the reschedule­d election in the area.

The election was declared inconclusi­ve by the INEC because of some irregulari­ties witnessed at Chiroma Ward.

Dahiru asked his supporters to ignore the rumours from his rival of the PDP, Dauda Kigbu, that the PDP won the election only to be denied victory by INEC.

The APC candidate described the rumours as unhealthy, saying that it was capable of causing crisis in the area.

Dahiru appreciate­d the people of his constituen­cy, particular­ly traditiona­l rulers, party leaders and the youth for keeping peace in the area.

He appealed to them to remain patient and await a new date for the reschedule­d election to cast their votes.
