Taraba youths say only PDP gov candidate active, others sleeping

A human rights organisation under the aegis of Youth Active Initiative (YAI) has has said only the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Taraba State, Lt Col Agbu Kefas (retd.) talking about concrete plans for the state.

The organisation says it would the PDP flag bearer, advising other contestants to stop the bickering and focus on the issues.

The leader of YAI, Albert Augustine, who spoke on behalf or the organisations, added that the PDP flagbearer spoke directly to the Taraba people and did not descend into trivialities.

He said, “We note with grave concern the way some candidates in this election speak as if goading their supporters to cause problems. Their body languages have shown clearly that peace is not in their agenda. We have also noticed that in various interviews, they speak only of their ambitions and never about what they can do for Taraba State. This is not good for our politics. Our attention therefore has been drawn to the PDP candidate who have stayed on the issues.

“We are happy to note he said in the television interview that he is not interested in blame games. We are quick to note what he said about agriculture, solid minerals and the education sector.

“As young people, this election is critical and we wish to support only a candidate that is focused on the main issues. A candidate ready to deliver the dividends of democracy. Colonel Agbu Kefas has convinced us that he is a man full of action and this is heartwarming.”
