A former deputy governor of Plateau
state 2007-2011 Hon. Mrs. Pauline Tallen has made known her position for 2019,
saying she will not contest the Governorship election because her son Mr. Simon
Bako Lalong is there already. She made the statement when she was responding to
View Point Nigeria correspondent at Sheraton Hotel Abuja during a 2-day National
Unity And Integration conference organized by the Savannah Centre for Diplomacy,
Democracy and Development.
Excerpts
Viewpoint Nigeria: “Ma could you respond to some speculations that you rejected your
appointment as an Ambassador by Mr. President because you’re nursing a
governorship ambition”?
Hon. Tallen: “No o! My son is already
there. I can’t contest against him. Thank you.”
When journalists sought to ask her
further questions on national issues, she immediately entered her car and
zoomed off to escort former president Olusegun Obasanjo who attended a different
event at the Sheraton hotel to mark his 80th birthday.
