With the 2023 general election around the corner and the campaigns taking center stage, the former Minister of Sports, who is contesting for the seat of Langtang North/South Federal Constituency in the Lower chambers of the National Assembly, Hon. Solomon Dalung has stated that he is not intimidated by his opponent in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hon. Beni Lar.
Hon. Dalung, who is contesting for the seat under the Social Democratic Party (SDP), in an interview with Journalists in Jos yesterday claims that, Hon. Beni Lar has wasted 16 years of the people’s mandate and her failure is the fuel now propelling his campaign.
He also said the days political parties assist in the victory of candidates have come and gone and that, the 2023 elections would be determined by the trust that the people have for the individual candidates.
Hon. Solomon Dalung in part said, “What can intimidate a politician is how you have been able to utilize your mandate. But nobody can be intimidated that you have wasted so many years in an office and then you will be thinking of intimidating others. Rather, it will reinforce and encourage them charge on, owing to the wastage of many years.
“For the Member of the House of Representatives, representing Langtang North/South Federal Constituency of Plateau State, Hon. Beni Lar, she has spent and wasted 16 years and those wasted years are the fuel that is engineering my campaign.
“This is because, if I serve as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for just three and half years and I was able to influence three projects well over 2.2billion naira and all completed, yet she has served 16 years and has no single project that has been commissioned, why would I be intimidated by such failure?
“So, anybody who is talking about been intimidated by her, must first go and check the meaning of intimidation through Google or Michael West Dictionary”.
