Hon Barr. Simon Bako Lalong and the State chairman of the APC Hon. Rufus Bature.

According to our source, the meeting reportedly an enlarged stakeholders meeting of the APC, where the conveners allegedly pleaded with the aspirants to be civil in their conduct and to speak to each other and come up with a consensus if possible.

Following this position, our source alleged, the Chairman of the APC Hon.
