An All Progressives Congress,APC’s, chieftain in Plateau State, Hon. Jimmy Nanyak Lar, who was Governor Lalong’s Senior Special Assistant, SSA, on Political Affair has debunked the insinuation by APC’s Plateau State Secretary, Barr. Musa Sati that Gov. Lalong does not have a preferred candidate for the Southern Plateau Senatorial by-election. He opined that it will have amounted to class and political suicide for Lalong to stand aloof in the forthcoming contest.

Hon. Jimmy Lar further stated that he can authoritatively and categorically reveal that Governor Lalong’s Chief of Staff, Hon. Noel Kuryil Donjur held a meeting with the governor’s preferred candidate, Prof.(Mrs) Nora Dadu’ut , a professor of French the University of Jos, with her husband, Mr. John Dadu’ut, a former Bursar of Unijos and one time Commissioner of Finance under Gov. Jang and his former classmate in GSS kuru and presently a chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in Plateau State, at Government House No.1 behind Deputy Governor’s House, Rayfield, Jos.

Hon. Jimmy Lar further revealed that at Prof. Dadu’ut’s meeting with her husband and the governor’s COS, Hon. Donjur had intimated the duo of the governor’s willingness to have Prof. Dadu’ut hold brief for him in the senate untill 2023 when he will complete his tenure as governor of Plateau State and take over from her at the senate. This, the COS said was primarily due to the fact that they don’t trust any politician in the southern zone.

Lar further stated that that being the case, Hon. Noel Donjur quickly contacted the APC Zonal Chairman in Southern Plateau, Hon Paul Atsar, to surmorn an emergency meeting of all local government excos in the zone on Saturday 9th of May, 2020. Unfortunately, Mr. John Dadu’ut collapsed on the morning of the meeting due to old age related illness, and was rushed to Jos University Teaching Hospital, JUTH. That being the case, the meeting was a abruptly called off despite the fact that all the Six LGA Excos were on ground.

Hon. Lar therefore submitted that Prof. Dadu’ut has been a dead project on arrival. This he said, is because Prof. Dadu’ut is not only Kwalla muda which implies she’s 80% Goemai, but she’s also Noel Donjur’s first cousin. This has therefore put paid to Barr. Musa Sati’s claim aimed at diverting everybody’s attention.
