Labour Party Governorship candidate for Plateau State, Dr Patrick Sunday Dakum has visited the Nigeria Union Of Journalists (NUJ) secretariat in Jos on a goodwill mission to seek the cooperation of the journalists as well as inform them of his intention to contest for the governorship seat of Plateau State under the Labour Party and seek their blessings and support before starting his campaigns.





Dakum said he found it quite necessary to identify with the NUJ, reminding them that as the former Commissioner of Information and Health in Plateau State, he made a lot of them his friends and confidants in the council and also within Nigeria at large.




He was accompanied to the Secretariat by the newly appointed Director General of the Dakum/Pwajok Campaign Council, Hon Joel Gwatau who is a former Commissioner in Plateau State, Hon Nanbol Daniel Listic, the member representing Langtang North Central at the Plateau State House of Assembly and the Labour Party Candidate in the 2023 House of Assembly elections, as well as the Director of Media, Chief Amb Nanyah Daman, Media Consultant, Mr Shabul Mazadu and the Lead of the Media Strategic Team to the State Secretariat, who were all received by Mr Paul Jatau and the Executive Council members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists.





In his remarks, Dr Dakum described the Union as not only the fourth estate of the realm but a critical stakeholder in the journey to consolidate on the efforts of the past leaders who contributed to the socio-economic development of Plateau State.




He said as friends, he promises to carry all publishers, media executives, reporters, correspondents, online bloggers, the print and electronic journalists along during his campaigns and also in government.



Dakum also announced his willingness to collaborate with the union in any project, workshop, seminar and meetings.


In his response, Mr Paul Jatau,the Chairman of the Plateau State Chapter of the NUJ, thanked Dr Patrick Dakum for being the second governorship candidate to visit the NUJ.


Jatau confirmed the contributions of Dakum while he served as the Commissioner of Information and Health and how media friendly he was then.



Jatau pledged the readiness of the council to partner with the Labour Party governorship candidate in information dissemination whenever invited.


Jatau used the opportunity to invite Dr Patrick Dakum to a seminar which was promptly accepted by Dr. Dakum.
