APC Meltdown Continues On The Plateau As Lalong’s Commissioner Quits

Mr Dayyabu Garga, a Commissioner in the administration of former Plateau governor Simon Lalong, has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and with it worsening the meltdown of the party on the Plateau following the bruising election defeats in 2023.

Garga, who was commissioner in two ministries – local government and chieftaincy affairs as well as urban development – and later became Chairman, Kanam Local Government, notified the APC in a letter to his Garga ward in Kanam.

The letter, a copy of which was made available to newsmen on Sunday in Jos, didn’t state any reason as to why the leading politician dumped his former political abode.

In the letter, he thanked the APC for giving him the platform to serve in different capacities.

Garga did not state his next political destination, but a source close to him said he would move to the rival People’s Democratic Party (PDP). (NAN)

GWG.ng reports that the morale of the party on the Plateau was not lifted by the controversial election tribunal judgments which stripped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP of many of the seats the party won in the National Assembly and the State House of Assembly.

Lalong who was defeated by more than 50,000 votes in the Plateau South Senatorial District election was forced to resign his seat as a minister to take up the Senate seat after the Court of Appeal removed Senator Napoleon Bali based on the controversial issue of PDP structure.

Sources disclosed that Lalong took the decision to vacate his ministerial seat in order not to trigger an election for the seat that the APC could have also lost and exacerbated the meltdown of the party on the Plateau.
