PLATEAU GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS 2023: THE RACE TO LITTLE RAYFIELD

By Gurumwal George Longjan.

There is no analysis that I haven’t seen on the three major contenders of the forthcoming Plateau gubernatorial elections. Ranging from the highly cerebral to the intellectually deficient beer parlour ones.

I’ve seen posts that are clearly obviously propaganda and I’ve seen write-ups containing facts and half truths.

Furthermore there are those supporting their candidates because they genuinely believe that their candidate will take Plateau state to greater heights.

Additionally there are those rendering their support because the candidate is from their tribe or the candidate attended the same school as them or they like how the candidate looks and those who hope to get an opportunity to milk the state dry.

Amongst the three major contenders, all are credible. All have managed important offices/positions. All have their strengths and weaknesses, including their positive and negative aspects.

Personally I can write a post in support of any of the three candidates and convince you that they are the best for the job.

That is why I have refused to comment on any post castigating any of the aspirants or any post claiming their aspirant is the best.

Nonetheless there are so many factors that I have considered before throwing my support for Dr. Patrick Dakum. He is an astute Administration with international links and affiliations. He has done quite a lot for Plateau people in terms of employment and mentorship and I believe he has the least amount of controversy linked to him.

I don’t know Dr. Dakum personally. In fact one of the other two aspirant has been in correspondence with me. But unfortunately I can’t support that candidate at this particular time based on reasons which I need not go into.

Under different circumstances I would have supported that specific candidate, but not in this case.

The good thing is I’m happy with the caliber of candidates this time around and I’m sure a good number of Plateau people are happy as well.

Hence whoever wins at the end of the day, hopefully Plateau will forge ahead despite the herculean tasks that await the next occupant of Little Rayfield.

Best of luck to Dr. Patrick Dakum and Long Live Plateau State Nigeria.

P.S. I have respected all your posts supporting your candidates, please respect my choice as well.
