The governorship candidate of the Labour Party, (LP), in Nasarawa State, Joseph Ewuga, has stepped down and declared support for the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, David Ombugadu, ahead of Saturdays governorship poll.
Ewuga, who spoke in the Akwanga local government area on Wednesday, said he stepped down to boost the chances of the PDP candidate. He expressed confidence in the leadership qualities of Ombugadu to take Nasarawa State to greater heights.
A former Minister of Information and Director-General of the State PDP Campaign Council, Labaran Maku, said his party and the Labour Party decided to come together to rescue the Nasarawa State from the alleged bad governance of the All Progressives Congress administration.
Any attempt to rig the elections and usurp the will of the masses will be resisted by the people, Maku added.
