The speaker went on to say that the choice is made in the state’s overall interest rather than for personal reasons. This decision of ours should not be misunderstood by our people,” he said.

‘The state has an interest in it. All 24 of the House’s members are now APC members. The people of Taraba should continue to support the government because we want them to see this as the greatest choice for the state.”
