The Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Dame Pauline Tallen, has declared her intention to contest for the Plateau South Senatorial seat in the 2023 general elections swelling the number of appointees under the Muhammadu Buhari administration who have decided to vie for political office in 2023.
Africa Daily News, New York can confirm that the minister will battle Governor Simon Lalong, who is believed to be also interested in the senatorial seat. Lalong will serve out his two terms next year.
Plateau South Senatorial District covers six local government areas namely, Langtang North, Langtang South, Mikang, Qua’anpan, Shendam, and Wase.
The incumbent senator, Prof. Nora Dadu’ut, is said to have decided not to run for the position come 2023, paving the way for the minister to throw her hat into the ring.
Tallen had previously served as a councillor, commissioner and deputy governor.

Meanwhile, a former vice president and presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, Saturday said Nigeria had been wallowing in disunity because the All Progressives Congress (APC) government had been unfair to all parts of the country.

He insisted that even during the civil war era, Nigeria was not as disunited as is being witnessed under the President Muhammadu Buhari government.

Atiku spoke in Abeokuta, Ogun State, while addressing PDP delegates ahead of the presidential primary election of his party. 

He said, “As long as the country is not united, as long as there is no peace, you cannot govern even in your own home, not to talk of a complex country like Nigeria, which is multi-ethnic and multi-religious.

He promised to unite Nigeria by giving every part a sense of belonging, tackle insecurity and implement his economic development blueprint towards transforming the country.
