He said that since the history of the state, this was the first time another party would become completely absorbed by another party. “Today, we receive with great pleasure, over ten thousand newcomers into our noble party.

The state chairman of the PDM Alhaji Kabiru Muhammad said that their decision to move into the APC was informed by the great achievement of the government and tendency to rescue the state from “the pangs of PDP reign of mismanagement and incompetence”, and assured that they would work hard towards the achievement of the dreams of the APC in Taraba state and the nation. The Minister of Women affairs Senator Aisha Alhassan who gave the constitution of the party translated in Hausa language said insisted that the party has the onerous intention of setting Nigeria and indeed Taraba State on the path of meaningful development and called on all well meaning Nigerians to join hands with the party to bring about the much needed transformation. Alhassan said that despite the last internal struggle within the party at the last state Congresses, the party was now in a most formidable form and poised to take over power in the state in the forthcoming general elections. “In APC, we operate the principle of equal founders, equal comers, so no one has cause to be afraid. Let us just work together for the good if the country and to safe our dear state from PDP before it collapse completely. The good thing is that, after our state Congresses, our party has emerged stronger and better,” Alhassan said.
