Dr Patrick Sunday Dakum, the Chief Executive Officer of the institute of Human Virology, Abuja Nigeria, leader of the consolidation for Greater Plateau 2023 Team as well as the All Progressive Congress (APC) Plateau State Gubernatorial Favourite has won the four days opinion polls conducted by the Plateau Progressives Youth network (PPYN) with 16,718 votes to beat his closest rival Dr Nentawe Yilwatda with 14,953 votes.

Dr Patrick Dakum scored 16, 718 votes out of the 36,244 total votes representing 46.1%, Dr Nentawe Yilwatda with 14,953 votes represents 41.3%, Mr Sunday Biggs came third with 2,274 votes which represents 6.3%, Prof Sonni Tyoden scored 1,929 votes representing 5.3% in that order.

Dr Patrick Dakum has won about nine other opinion polls conducted by other groups both on the social media, Twitter and Instagram. He has of late received numerous distinguished merit awards from respected organizations both within the secular and the faith based organisations.

The PPYN while declaring Dr Patrick the winner of the online poll, appreciated those who participated and disclosed that the results have shown that the winner, Dr Patrick Dakum is recommended as the preferred,trusted and competent aspirant of the ruling APC in the forthcoming gubernatorial primaries slated for the 26th May, 2022.

The Youth Network posited that Dr Patrick Dakum's honest pragmatic and hopeful insight into the problems of the State, needs and willingness to examine issues and listen closely to public concern,Dr Patrick Dakum far apart from other aspirants expected techniques and talk.

The opinion poll by the Plateau Progressives Youth Network with over 36,244 respondents is by far,wider and more acceptable to the poll by Plateau Indigenous Development Association (PIDAN) made up of 53 Nationalities with Nentawe scoring 193 votes, Dakas scoring 186, Dakum scoring 154, Tyoden scoring 138, Biggs scoring 113, and Latep scoring 103 in that order.

Pertinent questions begging for answers are what methods of research was used by PIDAN?Who were the respondents?How were the figures generated?Will the results be acceptable with Government appointees conducting the polls?Will 500 respondents be better than 36,244 respondents?

With disclaimers here and there, Plateau delegates are urged to disregard phantom opinion polls and calls for imposition by Government officials and vote Dr Patrick Sunday Dakum, a well known Mentor of Mentors, Philanthropist,a God fearing man, a Development Expert, International Scholar, a Good Family man,the Home Front Czar, Sunday School Teacher,Church Worker,Council member to various tertiary institutions, Chairman Daily Walk With Christ Committee etc,etc.
