Ari Plateau South

The Director-General of the Industrial Training Fund (ITF), Mr Joseph Ari, has ruled himself out of the permutations for the Plateau South Senate seat in 2023.

GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that permutations on him had recently heightened controversy especially within the Plateau State All Progressives Congress, APC given permutations projecting the ougoing governor of the state who is from the district as being interested in the seat.

Speaking in Jos on Saturday, Ari also ruled himself out of contention for any other elective office saying that he had never contemplated of vying for any elective position now or in the nearest future.

According to him, he is presently busy and fully engaged with the onerous responsibility of deploying the mandate of the ITF to equip Nigerians with skills for employability and entrepreneurship.

He observed that some people were bent on pulling him down by printing campaign posters suggesting that he “is aspiring for an elective position and also canvassing support for the aspirations of some candidates that are vying for elective positions in the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“I have been reliably informed that these people plot to flood the convention venue with these posters to breed mistrust and disharmony and thereby generate rancour for their own selfish purposes”.

He called on the public to disregard any campaign poster to the effect that he “is running for any elective position, or in support of the ambition of any candidate during the upcoming APC convention as it is false, unfounded and not deserving of any attention”.

He also said that he had reported the matter to the security agencies for their further necessary action.

GreenWhiteGreen further reports that besides the past speculations on Ari, that the incumbent minister of women affairs, Mrs Paullen Tallen has been projected to confront Governor Lalong for the Plateau South Senate seat.
