PLATEAU JOS-NORTH/BASSA RERUN: SORTING AND COUNTING BEGINS AT POLLING UNITS, AS VOTE BUYING ENDS

By: Valentine Adese (JP),

The voting exercise in the on-going Jos-North/Bassa Federal Constituency of Plateau State, to fill the vacant seat at the National Assembly, caused by the sudden death of the late occupant, Hon. Haruna Maitala has come to an end in some polling units in the Constituency, as sorting of the votes and counting has began.

In areas within Jos-North West, in Jos North Local Government Area (LGA) like Jenta (Adamu, Makeri and Mangoro), Gada Biu and Tudunwada, counting in some polling units have commenced. REALITY can authoritatively state.

This also brings to an end, the vote buying allegedly across the contesting parties in these polling units.

The sad situation however, is the lack of concern for the security operatives deployed to these polling units.

It is gathered that, the security officers, who secured the voting materials through yesterday night have not been fed or given their right full allowances to proved same, for themselves.

It is of note that, immediately the votes have been counted the next exercises and activities would shift to the Collation Center for Jos-North/Bassa Constituency.

The major parties in this contest as observed by this Paper are PDP, APC, ADP and PRP.

you would recall that our Reporter, Hauwa Kabir had earlier reported the situation at Ajayi Street.
