Ahead of the upcoming party primaries, a chieftain of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Amb. Japhet Philip La’abes has called on delegates of the party across the country to think about the next generation and not instant gratification while casting their votes for their preferred candidates.
He also urge the delegates to vote for aspirants with the requisite “competence and character” who will make the system work for the generality of the citizenry.
La’abes who is vying to represent Balanga/Billiri Federal Constituency of Gombe State in the National Assembly, made the call in an interview with journalists in Jos, the Plateau State Capital, reminding the delegates that their choice of candidates can “make or mar” their future.
He said, “Time and events have ushered us into yet another critical moment of history as we look forward to party nominations of candidates for the 2023 general elections, reminding them that
“As you prepare to cast your vote in the soon coming primary elections, think about the next generation and not instant gratification.
“Reflect on the future and not the now, think about shared prosperity, think about widows, orphans and vulnerable people, think about us not I”, he admonished.
“Vote for people with the requisite competence and character to make the system work for you. Take heed that no money bag politician lead you astray.
“Remember that your choice of candidates can make or mar our future.Together we can change the narratives for the common good of our people”, La’abes stressed.
