Tinubu Taraba Rally Shifted As APC Chiefs Battle Over Guber Ticket

The internal crisis rocking the Taraba State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has deepened with the postponement of the rally for the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu earlier scheduled for Monday. It is the third time in a roll that the rally would be cancelled.

The rally was abruptly  was called off in an announcement by the party in Jalingo late on Sunday.

The sudden announcement said the rally has been put off for another day due to “lack of a conducive atmosphere.” 

An earlier announcement had directed party members to converge on Monday to receive the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

The sudden postponement has sparked off more discussions that the  internal crisis may have reached another peak as no concrete reason was given for the postponement. 

Checks shows that the latest postponement might not be unconnected with primaries conducted on Friday by the Senator Emmanuel Bwacha faction of the APC.

Trouble started for the APC when the Supreme Court voided the primaries that produced Senator Emmanuel Bwacha in a unanimous decision and sacked him.

However, Bwacha and his team last Friday went ahead to conduct a fresh primaries which saw all the other five governorship aspirants boycotting the exercise. 

They have all since petitioned INEC. 

Meanwhile, the last time the APC cancelled the rally for Tinubu in Taraba, it was attributed to the confusion over rally funds.

GWG.ng reports that Bwacha who was formerly in the PDP defected to the APC and the momentum he brought distablised the status quo in the Taraba State chapter of the APC.
