APGA Presents Labaran Maku

Former Minister of Information, Labaran Maku’s
insistence that his governorship
ambition was still
on course despite losing the presidential primaries
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was
understood on Saturday when the All Progressives
Grand Alliance (APGA) him as its governorship
candidate in Nasarawa State.
This came to light as the Chairman of the party
in the state, Chief John Amako, presented Maku
and his running mate, Ibrahim Abu, to the party’s
officials and supporters from the 13 local
government areas of the state.
”By this pronouncement, all rumours making the
rounds that Maku is not the governorship
candidate of APGA in the state should be
disregarded,” Amako said.
According to him, APGA national headquarters
and all the stakeholders of the party in the state
had endorsed the decision to present Maku as
governorship candidate.
Maku expressed gratitude to the party for the
confidence reposed in him and his running mate.
He promised to ensure that the different ethnic
groups in the state live in peace, by transforming
the state to a model where every ethnic group
would enjoy equal rights and opportunities.
Maku said he left the PDP because of the
“irregularities’’ that characterised the party’s
primaries in the state.
He however called on the people to support the
re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan. This
he noted would ensure the consolidation of the
ongoing transformation agenda in the country.
