PDP Chieftain Urges Opposition To Support Nyako

Alhaji Musa Dantakarda, a PDP stalwart in Mubi, Adamawa, on Sunday called on opposition parties to support the new Murtala Nyako administration to enable it transform the state.

Reacting to Nyako’s victory at the Feb.4, governorship election, Dantakarda said that would also enable the governor continue with the sound programmes initiated in the last four years.

Dantakarda, who was the Chairman of the Nyako campaign organisation, said in Mubi that such cooperation would assist in building a new Adamawa.

“The parties and their candidates should support the PDP administration to work for the progress of our people.

“Adamawa should be our first priority and we must work together as one for the common good of the state,” Dantakarda said.

?? ? ? ? He also urged the people to pray for peace, unity and prosperity in the country.

According to him, the PDP’s victory at the polls has shown the confidence the electorate reposed in its ability to transform the socio-economic condition of the state.

“The outcome of the election is a clear manifestation of the wishes of Adamawa people, and INEC has been fair to all parties,” he added.

However, Sani Hamma, a chieftain of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in the state, attributed Nyako’s victory to the “apathy demonstrated by the electorate across the state.”

?? ? ? ?“The electorate gave the PDP the chance to win the election by not coming out enmasse to vote.

“We only pray God to give the PDP administration the wisdom to put up effective leadership in the state,” Hamma said,

However, dozens of PDP supporters rode on motorcycles in the streets of Mubi, celebrating the election victory.
