\u201cWe are succeeding already. According to statewide spread and distribution, we will win the Governorship election in Plateau state.<\/p>\n

Yilwatda is the anointed candidate of the incumbent Governor, Simon Lalong of the APC.<\/p>\n

Other contenders for the Plateau governorship are Patrick Dakum of LP and Caleb Mutfwang of the PDP.<\/p>\n
