Governor Lalong Salutes First Plateau Female Senator-Elect
Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong has saluted Prof. Nora Dadu’ut candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for making history as the first female Senator-elect in Plateau State.
Prof. Dadu’ut who emerged winner of the Plateau South Senatorial District bye-election defeated her closest rival George Daika of the PDP for the nod to fill the vacuum created by the death of the former occupant of the seat late Senator Ignatius Longjan.
Governor Lalong said the victory of Prof. Dadu’ut was not surprising as the APC is well-rooted in the whole state particularly the Southern Senatorial District.
He congratulated Prof. Nora whom he believes will give quality representation to the people of the Southern Senatorial District and also represent the interest of the State at the red chamber.
Governor Lalong also commended INEC and security agencies for working assiduously towards a successful election.
According to him, the electorate also deserves special commendation for conducting themselves peacefully and ensuring that the exercise was devoid of violence and malpractice.
Lalong also called on other political parties and candidates who lost the election to rally round the winner in the best interest of the zone and Plateau State as a whole.
