Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas
The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Taraba State, has urged supporters of the party to tread with caution and not to overheat the system over Governor Agbu Kefas recent appointments.
This is coming in reaction to criticisms from some party stakeholders alleging recycling of old breeds of politicians by Mr Kefas to serve as aides and board members.
In an interaction with journalists in Jalingo, the spokesperson of the party in the state, Andetarang Irammae, called for calm and assured the party loyalists that the party and the administration of Kefas were sensitive to their concerns.
He said there is interface between the party leadership and officials of government to address the genuine concerns of party faithful and called for patience by members.
While congratulating the new appointees, Irammae, charged them to be loyal, fair and just in the discharge of their duties.
The party also commended the governor for his proactive commitment towards securing the state as seen in the drastic reduction in the rates of banditry attacks.
“The party notes particularly the gradual return of IDPs to their farm stade in parts of Takum, Ussa and Yantu special development area and the decisive action that the governor took to arrest the leader of the criminal gang that killed close to six people in Maihula, Bali local government area,” he said
Irammae also disclosed the party’s readiness for the forthcoming Congress to usher in new leaders at wards, local government areas and state levels.
“We are ready to organise a free and fair Congresses at all levels that everyone would be happy with,” Mr Irammae said.
He said the congress which was earlier scheduled to commence last week, was readjusted for two weeks due to the Ramadan, so that those that travel for pilgrimage to Mecca will not be denied the privilege to participate.
The party then urged the people of the state to continue praying for the success of Mr Kefas administration. (The Sun)
