According to him, the votes would be doubled in appreciation of his efforts for a better Plateau.

Gov. Lalong said that the visit was to appreciate the people of Mangu for their support in the last three and half years and also seek their votes for another term.

“It is another political season and I need your blessings for us to succeed.

“We are here to pay our respect to the traditional council as we go about the campaigns in the area,” he said.

The governor said that apart from Jos North Local Government, Mangu was the second place where he got the highest votes that gave him victory in 2015.
