Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Taraba South have penned an open letter to President Bola Tinubu, requesting that he give due consideration to the zone for ministerial and other significant federal appointments.
The letter, signed by Jamiu Bawa, the Chairman of the Taraba APC Youth Forum, was issued on Tuesday.
The stakeholders highlighted that Southern Taraba had played a pivotal role in securing the APC’s victory in the state and, as a result, believed the region deserved recognition and representation in key government positions.
The statement read, ”It is in the record that Southern Taraba APC produced the most elected office holders.
”Southern Taraba has become the APC zone, where a senator was produced and all the two House of Representatives members.
”The only APC senator in Taraba was produced from the southern zone and it is imperative to state here that, in the recently concluded presidential elections, the southern zone of Taraba performed optimally for the party with 81, 568 in the zone and 135, 165 votes garnered in the state for the presidential elections.”
In addition to congratulating Tinubu on his electoral victory, the group conveyed their prayers to God, asking for wisdom to guide him in governing the country.
They expressed optimism that the Almighty would provide Tinubu with the necessary resources, good health, and capabilities to lead Nigeria towards greatness.
”Once again, we congratulate you on your inauguration and the birthing of the renewed hope administration.
”This letter could not have been written at a better time than now because, as congratulatory messages are pouring in, we are sure, you are already considering names with a view to forming a cabinet as soon the 10th assembly is inaugurated.
”As a committed progressive cum determined democrat and one who possesses the spirit of rewarding hard work, this letter cannot wait for another time,” the letter read.
