As contained in the statement, members of the campaign council were initially told to collect their members to collect their appointment letters at the headquarters of the campaign council.

Governor Lalang said:

Consequently, the activities earlier announced for the 28th of September will no longer hold

“As the ruling and most attractive party in Nigeria, we understand the sacrifices and understanding of our teeming members who are more than willing to volunteer themselves for this great task ahead. It also shows the enormous love that the party members have for our candidates

“A new date and timetable of events will be announced soon”.
