Umar Doesn't Sponsor APC in Taraba, Remain Loyal to PDP

Acting Governor of Taraba
State, Garba Umar, has
debunked insinuations in some
quarters that he is secretly
sponsoring the opposition
party, All Progressives Congress
(APC), in the state.

Umar, who spoke through his
Chief Press Secretary, Kefas Sule,
yesterday in Jalingo, said that the
acting governor remained a loyal
member of his party, PDP.

Kefas said that Umar has no
connection with any other
political party apart from his own
party that brought him to serve
the good people of the state.

"He is a core loyalist of his party,
the PDP, and will do everything
possible to work for the interest
of the party. PDP has done
nothing wrong to him and he
can't see him working against the
party that brought him to where
he is today," Kefas said.

Kefas further noted that Umar
"understands" the constitution of
his party, adding that the acting
governor's motive is uniting the
party members.

He added that his boss "is
working towards ensuring that
Taraba moves to a greater
height.":
