Plateau APC elders, others warn against imposition of candidates

PLATEAU State All Progressives Congress ( APC) Elders Advisory Council has warned against imposition of candidates on the citizens, noting that it is contrary to the tenets of democracy all over the world.

The council also said the situation had been agitating the minds of Plateau people and heating up the polity unnecessarily.

In a statement, yesterday, acting chairman of the council, Danladi Wuyep, noted that APC had already come out with guidelines on members’ conduct during the primaries.

It advised, therefore, that those who paid for forms be treated fairly and given levelplaying ground to participate.

“Where a consensus has been adopted, all the contestants must consent to same by affixing their signatures on a document, which shall serve as evidence of accepting the outcome of such a consensus.

“There should be no imposition of a candidate on the people. Rather, personal interest should be buried to the Plateau project to excel,” the council stated.
