Tallen Fingered in Plateau APC 2

By Walbe Orgak

As the dust continued to settle down more revelations are coming out that some top
Politicians who are not pleased with the peaceful outcome of the local government elections and the party congresses are devising some means to create chaos within the party and of the puzzle which is been unravel is why the Minister of Women Affairs, Dame Pauline Tallen, has been absconding from most of the activities of the All Progressives Congress in Plateau State.

It is alleged from the boastings of some renegades of the party who claimed to have split into APC 2, saying the Minister is one of the financiers of their faction.

It would be recalled that Tallen only attended the ward congresses, but was absent during the local governments and state congresses, likewise the flag-off of the local government's election campaign though she gave the excuse that she went for a medical trip to Egypt. She did not come for the LG elections nor congratulated the victors.

With the bragging of the renegade faction that Tallen is their framework, pundits opine that it’s obvious that she holds a score to settle or her nursing political ambitions which are best known to her.

The splinter group was said to be aggrieved with the state congress held on Saturday where a consensus was reached on the State EXCO, where it had most of the APC federal legislators, stakeholders, and party stalwarts in attendance.

DAKAS CONGRATULATES PLATEAU STATE NEW APC EXCO ELECT.


I, on behalf of my family, friends and close associates, heartily congratulate the APC family on the Plateau and indeed Nigeria for its immeasurable maturity shown at the State congress last Saturday which saw to the emergence of a State Executive Council ably led by Hon. Chief Rufus Bature as the new Chairman of the team.

I am sincerely confident of the calibre of members elected to serve the party and shall continue to pray for them to succeed.

  It is indeed a practical show of maturity and sincere sacrifice on the side of all parties faithful that the election went  100% through consensus. This has shown that the APC family is truly matured enough for continued peace and progress.

As they take on the responsibility of their individual and collective offices, I pray and wish them success in galvanizing the party into unhindered victory come 2023 and beyond.

Once again, I wish them and the entire APC family a fruitful tenure for the greater good of our party and Plateau state as a whole.

While urging the new State party Executives to work in synergy with other party officials at the Local Government, Ward and Unit levels, Governor Lalong emphasized the need for them to carry along all members and be fair, honest and transparent in all their dealings. 

Deputy Speaker House of Representatives Idris Wase and other APC political leaders described the State Congress as yet another record breaker in the successes achieved by the party in the State. 

They said this successful congress has clearly shown that the APC remains the biggest party in the State and across the nation with clear capacity for more victories in forthcoming elections. They urged members to come together and embrace reconciliation and patience in supporting the elected party officials to deliver on their mandate. 

Responding on behalf of the newly elected State Exco, Chairman-elect Hon. Rufus Bature, immediate past Secretary to the Government of Plateau State and one time member of the State House of Assembly, expressed appreciation to the members and leaders of the party for electing them. 

He said the fact that their election done through consensus without any challenges means that the party has fully evolved and is taking major strides in good governance, inclusivity and fairness to the citizens. 

Bature specifically thanked Governor Lalong for giving the State the needed leadership that has endeared APC to the people and continued to give them hope. He said the party exco will support him and also carry along all members at all times and also avail them level playing field for aspiring to any position.
