Taraba State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Agbu Kefas during a stakeholders meeting organised by the party in Jalingo on Wednesday reassured the people of Taraba of a level-playing field for all aspirants during its forthcoming governorship primary election.
According to him, the party’s transformational agenda in the state was already yielding results and efforts were on to accommodate the people’s choice for leadership selection.
He said “the desire for credible leaders and the transformation of Taraba would fail if the people are overruled and imposed with candidates during the process.
“So, there is not going to be an anointed candidate. Everybody is free to contest and win the election. One thing we are going to ensure is the credibility of the candidates and that is why we have inaugurated a committee to assess the aspirants’ credibility.
“Our desire is not just to win but also ensure the desired quality leadership delivery for the state.
“We have no cracks in PDP; we have been winning and we are set again to win again come 2023.”
Earlier, Governor Darius Ishaku, who was represented by his Deputy, Haruna Manu appealed for the party’s commitment to ensure victory over the opposition.
“Do not allow the opposition to take over the state. Taraba has been PDP since 1999, and is required of you to ensure that PDP wins all the positions and maintain its rule in the state,” he appealed
Since the fourth republic,Taraba state has been one of the havens of the PDP as all former governors of the state governed on the platform of the party.
