The governorship supplementary election in the state holds on March 23.

Ahead of the March supplementary governorship election in Plateau State, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , Jeremiah Useni, has called on security agents to maintain neutrality during the exercise.He cautioned security agents who would be deployed to the 40 polling units in the nine local government areas for the supplementary election not to harass or intimidate electorate at polling units and collation centres, but operate within the rules of engagement.

“I was saddened at the instance where security personnel who had absolutely no business with the elections, harassed some electorate who came out to cast their votes by asking them to lie down on the ground without committing any offence’’, he said. The PDP governorship candidate revealed that he was still very much in the race and when elected he would lead in the most responsible manner.

Responding to Mr Useni’s allegations, the state Commissioner for Information, Yakubu Dati, described it as laughable.
