Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State, on Saturday, said his administration will continue to provide good governance and maintain a clear line between politics and governance in the interest of the state. The governor, who disclosed this during an expanded caucus meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party held in Jalingo, the state capital, lamented that most times, politicians make promises during campaigns, but focus more on politics when elected than fulfilling the promises, thereby, eroding the people’s trust and making it difficult to convince the electorates during elections......See Full Story>>.....See Full Story>>
According to him, “We are elected to provide good governance to the people, and we will continue to do that, and that is the only way we will continue to maintain the PDP winning streak in the state.
“We are going to do something different. We are already focusing on people orientated governance than politics so that the people of Taraba will not be tired of PDP.”
Kefas also emphasised the need for party leaders to return to their respective wards and develop a consensus list of Ward and Local Government Council executives ahead of the state congress of the party slated for August.
Briefing journalists after the meeting, former Minister of Finance, Ambassador Idris Waziri said the party, during the meeting, zoned key positions of the State Working Committee to the three zones to ensure balance and inclusivity of all stakeholders of the party in the state.
According to him, the state Party Chairman, Elder Nuhu Abe, presented the guidelines and timetable for the upcoming PDP ward, local government, and state congresses on behalf of the committee, which was adopted at the meeting.
Sources at the meeting also informed our correspondent that a committee within the State Working Committee that was tasked with zoning various party offices for the upcoming State Congress also submitted their report to the Governor for final approval.
The meeting also affirmed that the Vice Chairmen of North, Central, and Southern zones, who are currently serving their first term, will continue in their roles.
