By Tunde Opalana
Stakeholders in Taraba state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) gathered in Abuja Wednesday to iron out differences and mend fences to reposition the party ahead of the 2023 general election in the state, Daily Times gathered.
Addressing journalists after the three hours meeting held at the APC national secretariat in Taraba State, the APC chairman, Barrister Tukur El – Sudi, said significant issues affecting activities of the party in the state were discussed.
He said the party was in disarray after the 2019 general election with most members dumping APC for other parties, particularly the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and there has never been cohesion in the party.

Moving forward to achieve landmark victory in coming elections, the chairman said it became necessary for interested members to come together, iron out differences, and take strategic steps to win back the state from the PDP.
Barrister El – Sudi said the issue of funding of the party is top of the meeting agenda.
Also speaking, Alhaji Ahmed Yusuf, a Commissioner representing Taraba State at the Revenue Mobilization and Fiscal Allocation Commission said the party is now one whole body again as evident in the calibre of stakeholders at the Abuja parley.
Introducing members at the meeting, Yusuf said they include past and present state and National assemblies members including Senator Yusuf Yusuf representing Taraba North senatorial district, university dons, and captains of industries.
These big wigs, he said can stand and win elections for the APC in the state.
Yusuf said “all stakeholders in the APC branch of the state are solidly behind the state chairman, Barrister El – Sudi and we all pass a vote of confidence on the chairman.
“We will not be distracted by any rumoured division. We will ensure that we reposition our party ahead of 2023”.
