By Kingsley Chukwuka

The Labour Party Leadership of kopmur Ward, Bokkos Local Government of Plateau State have described as fake, and untrue the alleged suspension of the Governorship

Candidate of the Party in the State Amb. Yohanna Margif from the Labour Party.

The chairman of the Labour Party in Kopmur Ward Hon. Jacob Bulus Dyelshum, Secretary Hon. Nguwap Moltep Hosea and 27 others in a signed disclaimer letter issued to Journalists in Jos on Monday said there has never been a time the party suspended or expelled the Candidate from the Party.

The Ward Leadership of LP noted that the letter dated 9th August 2022 is forged and faked.

“This is to draw the attention of the general public, esteemed supporters of Amb. Yohanna Margif, all members of the Labour party, the entire people of plateau state all security agencies to a letter of the complaint laid against Amb. Margif and describing him as a former member of the Labour party and also a letter of the expulsion of Yohanna Margif from the Labour party dated  9th August 2022 is fake forged fabricated to cause crises in the state.

“There has never been a time when the EXCOs of Margie kopmur ward have withdrawn or expelled the membership of Amb. Yohanna Margif from the Labour Party

“Therefore, we urge the general public to disregard the various publications made by the state party chairman Mrs Grace Zamfara because chief Amb. Yohanna Margif remains an authentic flag bearer in the eyes of the law. We are standing by him and we shall continue to stand by him”.

The statement added that all the Excos that signed the disclaimer are genuine leaders of the Labour Party from kopmur Ward, the home town of Margie.

The Ward also complained against Mrs. Grace Zamfara and Sylvanus Albert Diyongs for lies, forgery, defamation of character, misleading the public and threat.

” Mrs Grace Zamfara has on our behalf written lot of letters ranging from disqualification and expulsion of Margif from the Labour Party using our names and forge our signatures without our knowledge”

It would be recalled, that Mrs Grace Zamfara, was reportedly sacked sometime in August after a Vote of no Confidence was passed on her by 14 out of the 17 Local Government Chairmen of the Party in the state following a series of petitions bothering on alleged financial misappropriation, anti Party activities and her involvement in the recent Purported and illegal kangaroo Governorship Primary election that brought Dr Patrick Dakum but was later upturned after some negotiation with the State executive.
