\u201cAll the developments you are seeing in Plateau State is the handiwork of our former governors.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we are here to make sure we are not shortchanged in the forthcoming elections,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cPDP does not encourage shortchanging anybody, all we need is a level playing field so that nobody will rig us out.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want really assure the people of Plateau that, we are not going to sit back and allow anybody to shortchange us; we will ensure that this does not happen\u201d, he assured.<\/p>\n

He however said, \u201cThis bye-election is a litmus test for 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n
