He said that due to Lalong’s active support for the president-elect, many people in the North Central and his home state of Plateau had been casting aspersions on him and labeling him with all manners of names, but the governor stood his ground owning to his strong faith in the ability of the Tinubu/Shettima ticket whom he has always said would creditably well once elected.
