By Israel Adamu ,Jos
Plateau State Governor Simon Lalong on Friday said the state will elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima as it continues to play prominent role in Nigerian politics by remaining in the mainstream during the next dispensation.

Lalong told the voters to disregard the antics of the opposition who carry a baggage of unpaid salaries, insecurity, lack of unity and unfulfilled promises.
He said they cannot be trusted with power again since they did not perform well and were kicked out. APC he said was the right answer for the continuous peace, stability and unity of Plateau State.
Deputy Speaker House of Representatives Idris Wase said the people of the Northern Zone have every reason to vote the APC from Top to Bottom because they have seen and touched the dividends of democracy within their zone and the entire State.
