We’ll Give Taraba People Resident Governor, Unlike Absentee Ishaku – APC
*Says Gov Spends One Day In State, Six Days Outside
National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, says the people of Taraba State can’t wait to have Governor Darius Ishaku kicked out of the government house.
Oshiomhole said this on Monday when he swore in Ibrahim Tukur El-Sudi as the chairman of APC in Taraba.

He claimed that Ishaku spends one day in Taraba and six days outside the state, noting that the APC will produce a governor who will be resident in the state and not govern from outside.
“We are in very interesting times, we have a governor in Taraba on the PDP platform and who narrowly escaped with the position courtesy of the rigging machine of the PDP,” he said.
“From all that I hear from the ordinary people of Taraba, they can’t wait to have Governor Darius Ishaku out of the government house of Taraba.
“We at the APC headquarters are absolutely committed to giving you all the moral, organisational and persuasive support that we can provide to organise, mobilise and ensure that the great people of Taraba state come out en masse to vote for whoever will emerge as the governorship, senatorial, house of representatives and house of assembly candidate on the platform of our party, come February 2019.

“Under the APC, the good people of Taraba state will witness sustainable development, peace, and security. They will have a resident governor. Because what we have now is a governor that spends one day in Taraba and six days outside Taraba whether in Lagos, London or in other parts of the world. You can’t govern in absentia. I believe that our party will make a difference.
“I am encouraged by the people I see who are working together on the platform of the APC in our shared determination to provide good governance to the people of Taraba state. Today’s meeting is the beginning of a collaborative effort to democratically takeover the governance of Taraba state.”
On his part, El-Sudi said he would unite all members of the party in the state, so as to deliver Taraba to the APC in the 2019 election.
“I want to assure that whatever stories anybody could have told you national chairman about the disunity in Taraba is not true.
“I will unite everybody because every individual is important in Taraba state. I will carry everybody along so that we deliver Taraba to the APC come 2019,” El-Sudi said.
