“For God’s sake and for the value of this place, ensure that you vote for A… I mean PDP this time around.”

The Cable reports that he assured his supporters of the state of peace once he secure the seat of the president in 2023.

His words:

“Yesterday, when we finished with Nasarawa successfully, I was told ‘let’s go back to Abuja’, and I said I won’t go back to Abuja because here is also my home and I have a house here. We came and slept in it.”

“What I want you to understand is that we’ve made a promise that if you vote for PDP, which I’m sure you would, we promise to bring back peace in Plateau.”
