ABUJA-Water Resources Minister, Obadiah Ando, has revealed how the Taraba State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, worked assiduously to ensure the victory of President Goodluck Jonathan at the poll last month

Ando also explained the efforts of the state governor, Dan Fulani Suntai and himself, in ensuring that the party cleared the elective offices in the state.

The minister spoke to Vanguard in his office in Abuja while debunking charges of anti-party activities thrown in his direction.

Ando lamented that,“I don’t know where that information came from. It is absolute rubbish. I know what l spent for the party during the elections and l am ready to give you names of party officials in government that you can ask, because l wouldn’t want to talk too much on the triviality of antiparty.

“I know what we did to win the election for Mr. President, the governor and the party’

“I’m sure some mischief makers may be referring to my late uncle’s son who was in PDP and he wanted to be a Senator. He went into the elections but didn’t get the nomination.

“When he didn’t get the nomination, he switched to ACN and got the nomination. Naturally, under normal circumstances, he was supposed to inform me but knowing what my response would be, he kept mute about it until he got his nomination in the other party.

”They are doing their thing in the village and l am here in Abuja hence l could not know what was going on over there. Not until he got his nomination in ACN that he sent me a text saying ‘Uncle, You know l didn’t get the nomination in PDP so l switched to ACN, based on the advice of my colleagues, l got the ticket’”.
