WE WILL WORK AMICABLY WITH OUR STATE PARTY EXECUTIVE – HON. BELLO MAIGARI.



Rather than seeing the state party executive as a liability to be avoided   at   all   costs,   a   federal   lawmaker,   Hon.   Kashimu   Bello Maigari   representing   Jalingo/Zing   federal   constituency   of   has described   the   Taraba   State   APC     Exco   as   partners   in   progress whose interests must be taken into account by serving lawmakers as they contributed immensely to the success of the party in the 2019 National Assembly elections.

Hon. Kashimu Maigari made this observation while receiving the Taraba State APC Exco led by the state secretary, Hon. Godwin Williams at the National Assembly complex recently. Elaborating further, Hon. Kashimu Maigari disclosed that as the only member of the state party executive that was elected into the 9 the National Assembly, ‘I am close to the party exco and members that is why they felt the need to pay me a courtesy visit to congratulate me on my successful inauguration, pray for me and also extend some words of advice on how I should carry all and sundry along in my duties and activities. I appreciate their visit and I will do all that is possible to support them during my tenure office’.

Even   though   there   are   only   3   APC   lawmakers   in   the   National Assembly, (1 senator and 2 House members) and only 5 members in the House of Assembly Hon. Kashimu Maigari felt that it would not be too burdensome to support the party and its officials: ‘We will not be too burdened because the party members also know that we are not many, so they will consider their requests so it will not be too much on us because they are all seasoned politicians having been with us when we started from APP to ANPP to CPC and now APC, so we all know each other very well, there will be no problem at all’ – Hon. Maigari concluded.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body.  As I watched through the proceedings of the defections on national television, I wept for the country for producing such leaders that lack morality despite all the party has given them politically which they ordin...
