**Hails Mama Taraba for Dumping APC
By Dipo Olowookere
United Democratic Party (UDP) has described the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Adams Oshiomhole, as an “Elevated Garage Boy.”
A statement signed by the Director of Communication of UDP Youths Forum, Mallam Abubakar Isah, disclosed that the likes of former Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Mrs Aisha Jummai Alhassan, should not have associated herself with Mr Oshiomhole’s APC, which Mr Isah said it dominated by miscreants.
UDP, while reacting to the resignation of Mrs Alhassan and her eventual exit from the APC, stated that it would “expect more of her supporters across the federation” to join its fold.
“We received the news of the resignation of the former Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Senator Aisha Jummai Alhassan from the sinking and rudderless All Progressives Congress led Federal Government with great joy.
“We had wondered what such an impeccable character and personality is doing in a party where ‘Agbero’ Misogynist and Elevated Garage Boy’ like Adams Oshiomhole is heading?
“We were surprised that in spite of her numerous sacrifices and personal sponsorship of the party in Taraba State, the National Working Committee of the rudderless APC led by its Elevated Garage Boy Chairman, still have the gut to disqualify her from the party she laboured to build in Taraba State,” the statement said.
UPD described itself as “a home for all democrats and refined politicians who truly want to serve the nation in various elective capacities,” thanking the former Minister for joining the party “with seven serving lawmakers in the state House of Assembly and 169 ward chairmen of the rejected APC in Taraba State.”
Concluding, Mr Isah expressed confidence that the UDP will “form the next government in Taraba State.”
