The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Plateau State, Nentawe Yilwatda, has said he will not administer the affairs of the state based on ethnic or religious lines if voted into power.

Speaking during a radio debate for the governorship candidates in the state organised by Silverbird Communications in Jos, Nentawe said his administration would ensure fairness among the citizens of the state, and called on all and sundry to support his candidature.

He said, “There is no way I could be hoodwinked by any individual, ethnic or religious group to do anything that is inimical to the peace and progress of the state.”

Nentawe further said his determination would ensure that insecurity, poverty, as well as ethnic and religious disharmony, were tackled frontally, and cautioned his supporters against taking the law into their hands in the face of provocation.
