The governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Nasarawa State, Joseph Ewuga, has shelved his ambition and declared support for the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, David Ombugadu, ahead of Saturday’s governorship poll. Speaking in the Akwanga Local Government Area on Wednesday, Ewuga said he stepped down to boost the chances of the PDP candidate. While appealing to his supporters to vote for the PDP candidate, Ewuga expressed confidence in the leadership qualities of Ombugadu to take Nasarawa State to greater heights. He said, “I have decided to step down from the governorship race to fully support my brother from the Peoples Democratic Party, David Ombugadu. “Any attempt to rig the elections and usurp the will of the masses will be resisted by the people,” Maku added.
