‘APC will rule Taraba’

Former Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) governorship candidate in Taraba State, Senator Joel Ikenya, has applauded the birth of the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying that it will successfully wrest power from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015.

The politician said that the people of Taraba State looked forward to the formal registration of the mega party buy the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC).

Ikenja, who spoke on the phone with our correspondent, lamented that PDP had ruined the economy and puaperised Nigerians, in spite of the vast natural resources in the country.

He said the people of Taraba State have continued to groan under the yoke of the ruling party, adding that its leaders are insensitive to the plightof the masses.

Ikenya described the 2015 as the year of liberation from the PDP, advising Nigerians to gird their loins. He said, with the birth of the APC, rigging by the PDP will become a hard option.

He said: “The birth of the APC is laudable. It has given up to the people of Taraba. ACN and CPC are strong in Taraba. With ANPP now in the fold, we will defeat the PDP. We look forward to the national conventions of the ACN, ANPP and CPC when the merger will be formally consumated. PDP has nothing to offer to the people of Taraba. We are tired of a party that cannot perform”.
