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.
