Speaking before the Sen. Danjuma Lar led CTC in Abuja, Hon Yakubu Mohamed, the chairman of the party in Olamaboro said that all the attempts by some group of people to abuse the legitimacy and privileges of Olamaboro will be resisted fiercely.
“Before now, external forces have been depriving us of our benefits, but this time around God has destined us as a Local Government to chair our party. It is pertinent to bring this to your notice that the Tom Zekeri report and the Review committee reports be respected and allow for a free and fair election at the congress” Hon. Mohammed said.
Senator Danjuma Lar received the delegation and assured of a transparent, free and credible congress. He noted that politics is about contestation and where there is no consensus, “we will sure go to the field and observe the ethos of democracy, which is election”.
