They noted that the National Assembly Member (NAM) of the district and the local government councilor who where backed by two men, went to the Daily Observer to antagonized by pretending that they are representing the district in supporting the views of the incumbent, stating that Foni Jarrol district is in support of APRC and will defend the president no matter what happen.
The people of Foni Jarrol district has expressed disappointment in their NAM as according to them, he should play a key role in solving political crises lawfully has now defended injustice, therefore, they want to clarify the doubt in people that those who gave false statements to the media have not even met the Alkalos or council of elders to discuss anything on foni Jarrol giving a voice that they will rally behind the incumbent.
Foni Jarrol strongly condemns the strange move made by these few individuals and equally condemns the incumbent’s reflection of the election result and finally advised the APRC supporters not to engage in petty talks and subscribe to the peaceful transfer of power to the president elect.
