The ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, in Plateau State has suspended its mega rally for the southern Senatorial Zone bye election earlier scheduled for Wednesday second December twenty twenty in Shendam.

Chairman of the party Latep Dabang in a statement said the suspension of the rally became necessary as a result of the current mood of the nation following the recent massacre of innocent Nigerians on their rice farm in Maiduguri, Borno State by the Boko Haram Sect.

According to the statement, the APC as a responsible party joins the nation in mourning the departed souls and others that have been  killed as a result of senseless acts of a few who do not mean well for the country.

While sympathising with the Governor, Professor Babagana Zullum  and the people of Borno State,the APC also condoles the Governor Of Plateau State and Chairman Northern Governors forum, Simon  Lalong urging him to continue with his synergy with other Governors towards ensuring peace across the region.

 Dabang said while it is only the mega rally that has been suspended, other activities such as  door to door campaigns will continue with vigour in all the nooks and crannies of the Plateau South Senatorial Zone.

He enjoin members of the APC to continue to be law abiding and ensure they turn out en mass to ensure a resounding victory  at the polls for the party.
