Taraba: The Many Plans Of Governor Darius Ishaku To Frustrate The Administration Of Agbu Kefas

Published

on

 

Despite the fact that he called him to congratulate him on his election victory, it seems the outgoing governor of Taraba state, Darius Ishaku is yet to throw his weight behind the governor-elect, Agbu Kefas.

When he congratulated him, many thought Darius had given up on his fight against His Excellency, Agbu Kefas but with the plans exposed now, it’s as if the outgoing governor only sent a congratulatory message for official purposes, He still has several weapons to form against the victory and administration of His Excellency, Agbu Kefas.

It is not a hidden fact that outgoing governor, Darius Ishaku didn’t support Agbu Kefas despite being in the same party. The governor wanted someone else and this is why Kefas battled his candidacy up till the Supreme Court which he won. Darius never for once campaigned for Kefas before the election neither did he mention his name to anyone. He wanted him to lose out but unfortunately for him, the people of Taraba wanted Kefas.

Meanwhile, Kefas was very instrumental to the emergence of Darius Ishaku as the governor of Taraba state during his second term. The governor had committed so many atrocities against the people of Taraba and they wanted to punish him by not voting for him then but Kefas, who is well-known and widely accepted in all the communities in Taraba did all he could to get the people to vote for him. There is no way Ishaku would have emerged for a second term without the contribution of Agbu Kefas. It’s surprising that the outgoing governor stood firmly against the ambition of his benefactor when it was time to pay him back for his good deeds and support over the years.

According to sources, Governor Darius Ishaku, when he saw that his candidate failed to get the PDP governorship ticket, liaised with the NNPP candidate, Prof Sani Yahaya to stop the victory of Agbu Kefas. This is why the candidate has vowed to ‘reclaim his mandate’ in court despite the fact that every other political party has congratulated the winner and joined him to move Taraba forward. NNPP candidate is allegedly acting on the orders of Governor Darius and he has stationed him as one of his plans to frustrate the administration of Governor-Elect, Agbu Kefas.

The governor, who is fully aware that he is leaving office in barely two months, is hell-bent on installing some traditional rulers in the state. He had been ordered by the court not to make such an appointment but he has clearly disobeyed and perfected plans to make it happen. This is just another plan to destabilize the governor of Agbu Kefas.

Apart from these, information has it that outgoing governor Darius Ishaku will be conducting local government elections next month in the state. For what reason exactly? If the local government chairmen have exhausted their term, a new government is coming in two months, why not wait for the next government to conduct the election? This attempt is not even a hidden plan to destabilize the administration of Agbu Kefas knowing fully well that the local government is the grass root and any discord between the state government and the local government will definitely destabilize the administration.

However, Governor-elect, Agbu Kefas is unbothered, the same way he won without the support of the outgoing governor is the same way he will be lifted above every plan to frustrate his government.

…As Dangote Refinery partners MRS to sell PMS at N935 per litre nationwide at its retail outlets

To provide succour to Nigerians, Dangote recently reduced the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from N970 to N899.50 at its Refinery loading gantry and provided generous credit terms to marketers.

 

 

“To ensure that this price reduction gets to the end consumer, we have signed a partnership with MRS to sell petrol from its retail outlets nationwide at N935 per litre” he added. This price has already commenced in Lagos, and it will be offered nationwide from Monday.

 

 

In his statement, he called on other oil marketers such as the NNPC Retail and all other marketers, “to work with us to ensure that Nigerians enjoy high-quality petrol at discounted prices.”

 

 

According to him, “The Dangote Refinery is for the benefit of Nigeria and Nigerians. We will therefore continue to work with various value chain players to deliver high quality petrol at cheaper prices. Our aim is for all Nigerians to have ready access to high quality petroleum products that are good for their vehicles, good for their health, and good for their pockets.

 

 

Recall that in September, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) under the leadership of Mr. President approved the sale of crude to local refineries in Naira and corresponding purchase of petroleum products in Naira. The move, which commenced on October 1, led to reduced pressure on the dollar and ensured the stability of the local currency.

 

 

Dangote thanked Nigerians for their unwavering support and the government for creating an enabling environment for the domestic refining industry.
