President Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Concerned members of the All Progressives Congress from the Jos North–North State Constituency in Plateau State have petitioned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the outcome of the party’s primary election for the State House of Assembly seat, urging him to intervene to protect internal democracy.
In an open letter jointly signed by Usman Danasabe and Josiah Mark on behalf of the Concerned APC Constituents of Jos North–North, a copy of which was sent to Arewa PUNCH in Jos on Thursday, the group called on the President to ensure that the lawful winner of the primary is recognised.
“Our appeal is not driven by personal interest but by our commitment to justice, fairness and the preservation of democracy within our great party. Respecting the outcome of a transparent primary election is essential to maintaining the confidence of party members and the Nigerian people,” the letter stated.
According to the petitioners, the officially declared results of the primary showed that Hon. Dr. Adamu Aliyu polled 13,066 votes to defeat Harry Ishaya, who scored 1,904 votes. In comparison, Shehu Bala and Hassan Abdulkadir received 239 and 182 votes respectively.
