Prof. Dakum Urges Supporters to Remain Calm and Optimistic Amidst Defection of Reps Members.

Professor Patrick Dakum, the 2023 Labour Party gubernatorial candidate in Plateau State, has called for calm and optimism among LP supporters following the defection of some National Assembly members to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Dakum emphasized that the defectors' decision shouldn't cause any trouble or fear, as the Consolidation for Greater Plateau movement remains solidly grounded.

Dakum, who is also the CEO of the Institute of Human Virology Nigeria, reassured supporters that he is still committed to the Labour Party and is focused on his humanitarian work, prioritizing the betterment of lives through his non-governmental organization. He expressed gratitude to those who have shown solidarity and encouraged him to re-contest, emphasizing that he values friendship above politics and considers his supporters as friends.

Dakum's message of calm and optimism serves as a reminder that the movement is bigger than individual defections, and that better days are ahead. His commitment to the Labour Party and his humanitarian work demonstrates his dedication to creating positive change in Plateau State and beyond.

Professor Dakum Appeals for calm and optimism Despite the Defection of Reps members.

In an interaction with newsmen Shabul Mazadu the media consultant to Prof. Dakum, said the recent defection of Hon. From Dalyop, member representing Barkin Ladi/Riyom Federal Constituency, and Hon. Alfred Ajang, member representing Jos South/Jos East Federal Constituency in the green chamber of the national assembly, from the Labour Party to the All Progressives Congress (APC) should cost none of our supporters sleep. 

He asserted that the defectors have the right to join forces where they are comfortable, but that should not cause any trouble or fear to members of Consolidation for Greater Plateau as we are solidly on ground. He admonished them to remain calm and optimistic as better days lay ahead.

When asked whether Prof. Dakum is contemplating jumping ship also, Mr. Mazadu asserted that Prof. Dakum at the moment is still LP and is preoccupied with his non-governmental organization (NGO) and other humanitarian aid activities to better the lives of humanity, stressing that helping humanity is his fulcrum and innermost desire, but in the course of time he would address the press on this and other issues.

Mazadu further stated that Dakum has extended his gratitude to those both in the PDP and APC who took their time to show solidarity to him and called on him to re-contest, adding that hope should be kept alive and stick with him as they are doing as in due course he will make known his political decision whether to contest on not. 

According to him, Dakum values friendship above politics and sees all his supporters as friends, and tries bettering their lives in his little way, and as best as he can.
