THE CANDIDATURE OF CHIEF DICKSON DARIUS ISHAKU IS BEEN CONTESTED ON ALL FRONTS IN TARABA STATE,OPPOSITION FORCES MAY DEFEAT THE P.D.P IN 2015 ELECTIONS IN THE STATE AS A LOT OF ITS HEAVYWEIGHTS HAVE EITHER MOVED TO THE RIVAL SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY[S.D.P] OR THE ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS[A.P.C]

A 40 year old widow with four children Mrs. Amina Ebute has urged the leadership of the Christian body, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Taraba State to stop declaring Arc. Darius Dickson Ishaku, as consensus candidate of Christians in the state.

Mrs. Ebute, a woman activist who is in business at the Mayo-Gwoi market, Jalingo, Taraba State made the call on the Chairman of CAN in the state in a chat with this medium where she observed that such action is likely to cause disaffection and disunity amongst the Christian community in the state.

The widow averred that individual Christians should be allowed to have a free mind of who to vote as the governor of the state and not embarking on action to coerce all the members of body of Christ to vote a particular candidate without considering the psychological damage such could cause the other candidate who is also a Christian.

Amina who is an outspoken widow said the business community in Mayo Gwoi market Jalingo have however, resolved to deposit their mandate with the Social Democratic Party (SDP) governorship candidate, Chief David Sabo Kente.

“Our reason for deciding for Chief Kente is because this man has put smile on the faces of so many people in this state and beyond, particularly with his DSK Foundation.

“Over the years, we have only being hearing the name of one Arc. Darius Dickson Ishaku who have traversed the federal offices, but till date no one has felt his impact within the society and now that the man that has been suffering and sacrificing for the less members of the society and who is the most qualified candidate for the governorship of this state, come next general election is going to have his birth-right sold out to the unknown.

“I am particularly appealing to the men of God who have the very sole responsibility of ensuring justice and fairness in the conduct of all affairs of this state and this nation, to stop whatever plan being proposed to present the PDP governorship candidate, Arc. DDI as a consensus candidate of Christians in Taraba State. This action is likely to bring about sharp division amongst the Christian community as most of us have vowed before our God that we shall continue to give our full support to the actualization of the governorship ambition of Chief David Sabo Kente.

“This is a man we are truly convinced would take this state to the next level of development, he has all it takes to add value to our youths, our aged men and women and particularly the unemployed and vulnerable members of the public, there is no alternative to him except God decides otherwise we stand by him.

“We, the less privileged members of the public are appealing to all those above the age of 18 years to get their INEC PVC because that is the weapon we are going to use to decide on who our next governor and other leaders and representatives should be. We have our conscience which should not be abused by anyone just for selfish reasons, let us all come out on April 11^th 2015 and vote Chief Kente into the governance of this state for the overall benefit of the people.”
