S’Court Judgement: Useni Urges Calm, Commitment To Statehood

Lt. Gen. Jerry Useni (rtd), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), candidate in the 2019 governorship election in Plateau State, has urged citizens of the state to remain calm following the Supreme Court verdict.
Recall that the apex court had last Monday upheld the election and declaration of governor Simon Lalong of APC, as the duly elected Governor of Plateau State.
Useni, who gave the admonition in a statement he signed yesterday, in Jos, also charged the people to be committed to statehood.
The PDP candidate called on all stakeholders, officials and supporters of the party, and indeed the people of Plateau State, to “remain calm, peaceful, and not to react in the face of any provocation.”
“It has been a long struggle to get to this point in our sustained and vigorous efforts towards freeing the people of Plateau from the new form of retrogressive politics and people-alienating governance that we have come to witness in recent years in our dear state.
“Do not trade blames as it would not lead to any good destination. It is also no time for mourning since we all fought gallantly together”, he said.
