TEXT OF A PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSED BY CONCERNED APC PATRIOTS OVER THE CONTINUES STAY OF CHIEF LETEP DABANG AS PLATEAU APC CHAIRMAN DESPITE HIS OPENED DECLARATION FOR THE GOVERNORHIP SEAT READ BY COMRADE SATI TANKO TODAY THE 3^RD OF JUNE, 2021

 

Gentlemen of the Press,

 

It is with utmost respect to all members of the All Progressive Congress on the Plateau and lovers of Democracy nationwide that we address this Press Conference on issues bothering on the continuous stay of Chief Letep Dabang, the APC Acting State Chairman of Plateau State who has not only declared to contest for the Plateau State Governorship seat but has shown total disdain and disrespect to the collective will of the party's mechanism and it's functions as distinguished by the founding fathers of our great party.

 

First, Letep Dabang has not only spent two terms as APC State Chairman but was added some more months in acting capacity. His leadership has been characterize with serious calamity and maladministration with the party Secretariat locked with padlock for fear of being questioned by our teaming followership who have lost the usual fanfares obtained in ruling parties Secretariat. Ours have been a sorrowful sight which has made mockery of our Party that is been ran by Chief Letep Dabang as “Letep Dabang Foundation” or personal Investment. No wonder, the opposition PDP Secretariat is daily filled with activities than that of the APC. What a travesty!!!

 

Secondly, the bad blood sown by Chief Letep Dabang amongst Party members through his self-dictatorial leadership is enough to remove him as State Party Chairman if truly the Party intents to maintain its wining streaks on the Plateau.

 

So much of his self-proclaimed Masquerade has darkened the Party's chances if allowed to continue.

 

Thirdly, he seems to dislike the leader of the Party in the state, the Rt. Hon. Simon Bako Lalong because the Governor has refused to be dictated to and for not accepting his dangerous script on appointments as he has planned to use them in his gubernatorial ambition for the 2023 elections.

 

Fourthly, Letep Dabang should account for the money collected as form charges that were collected from aspirants and candidates of the APC in the last Local Government Election or resign. Failure to do so will make us to mobilize congress to march to the leader of the APC on the Plateau (the Governor) to demand for his immediate removal.

 

Finally, Chief Letep Dabang must resign or forced out of office as he cannot be a Judge in his own case. Since he has openly declared his ambition to contest for the Governorship seat, it is only fair that he resigns or be forced out for a fair, credible and clean leadership to emerge who would give justice, fairness and credibility to all contestants including Chief Letep Dabang himself.

 

“On Justice we stand and he who wants justice must come to equity with clean hands”.

 

Thank you and God bless.
