Pro-Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), known as Taraba Mandate Group (TMG) has claimed that All Progressives Congress (APC) had never had any form of presence in the state except for its noise value.
in a statement, the TMG’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), Gani Bako said that the APC governorship candidate, Aisha Alhassan, was a staunch PDP member, saying that it was under PDP that she won and became a Senator.
Bako said that the Director General of the APC campaign organisation, Alhaji Abdulmumunin Vaki, was the chairman of the PDP in the Suntai government.
“So when did APC enter Taraba to have any roots? Or even to claim it can produce the governor? What you call APC is just a rag tag army of disgruntled dissenters who left our ranks out of anger or frustration to join the association of retired politicians. No wonder they didn’t go anywhere.”
The TMG spokesman said that the PDP is still ready to welcome the new APC people back to the fold, adding: “actually, many of them are not defectors. They are mere returnees.” [myad]
