Some members of the All Progressives Congress , under the aegis of Coalition of Langtang South APC Youths in Plateau State yesterday passed a vote of confidence on the member representing Langtang South in the State House of assembly Hon Bendal Nancwat Domfa.
The Coalition also condemned the actions of those behind the purported suspension of the lawmaker from the party describing it as the handiwork of detractors.
In a statement in Jos, the leader of the group
Hon. David Nimfa condemned what it termed the unwarranted attack on Hon Bendal .
According to the group, “we want to say that Hon Bendal has been making us proud since his swearing in as lawmaker, as he has been working hard with all stakeholders including the Plateau state Governor Bar Caleb Mutfwang and the leadership of the Local government council, alongside other stakeholders to bring development to the LGA.
They added that ” We are aware of what is on ground , since assumption, of office Hon Bendal has been working so hard to ensure that development comes to the people of the zone, he has at several occasions said, he is willing to partner with the Plateau state Government and other relevant agencies to bring development to the people of the zone and this is not going well with some self centered Politicians in the LGA who believed he should be fighting with members of the ruling party in the state.
According to the group,angered by this development, some cross section of Politicians who have been rejected by the people because of their poor performances are instigating and calling for his suspension from the party over what they termed as anti party activities which is a total falacy and cheap blackmail.
He said “we have come together as members of the APC Concerned Youths in Langtang South to make our position known following recent happenings in our party and to pass a vote of confidence on Hon Bendal and to also align completely with the good leadership he is providing for the People of Langtang South
“Hon Bendal has never been involved in anti party activities, rather he is some one determined to provide quality legislation to our people ”
“We therefore express our dismay over a purported, non-existing suspension notice against Hon Bendal
“Those who are planning to suspend Hon Bendal would fail, because as APC youths we would resist and reject it in totality. “We call on members of the public who may not be vast with the structure, organization and constition of political parties to disregard the news of the suspension of Hon Bendal from the party. ”
“That is not how one is suspended from a political party. The rule and procedure cannot change overnight to satisfy a few sadists that are out to undermine our leader who is working so hard with several stakeholders to bring development to the LGA. ”
“We equally pass a vote of confidence on the leadership of Hon Bendal and urge him not to be distracted by the divisive tendencies and desperate moves of enemies of progress and the party masquerading as stakeholders. ”
“We are not oblivious of their sponsors who do not mean well for our constuency and Plateau state. We know their motives and antics, but we know for sure that they will fail woefully.”
“We as a group called on Hon Bendal to continue to work with all stakeholders to bring development to our Local Government Council, ” they added.
