Useni, PDP’s governorship candidate in Plateau, has picked Ben Shignugul, a
retired Theatre Nurse, as his running mate, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports.
According to
Yakubu Chocho, the State Organizing Secretary of the party, 58-year-old
Shignugul, who hails from Mangu, was picked after “careful considerations and
deliberations within the party’’.
“The party,
together with the flag bearer, decided to pick Shignugul from a list of nine
nominees,’’ Chocho told the News Agency pf Nigeria (NAN), on Wednesday in Jos. He
said that the flag bearer had an option to pick whoever he wanted, but chose to
involve the party in deciding who to run with.
Mr. Chocho
said that the office was zoned to Plateau Central, adding that MrShignugul got
the nod because he was of the same Mwagwavwul stock as the incumbent Deputy
Governor, Soni Tyoden.
NAN reports
that the running mate, who has degrees in public administration and
international law and diplomacy, is a former chairman of Mangu Local
Government.
He served as
Special Adviser to former Gov Joshua Dariye on Health Matters, and was later
appointed as Chairman, Governing Council, of the Plateau State Health
Management Board.
