A coalition of Members of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP in Taraba state has called on the National leadership of the party to sanction its state governor Arch. Darius Dickson Ishaku for alleged anti-party comments.

The members under the Coalition for a Reformed Taraba PDP in a statement signed by its Coordinator Ahmed Bala wonders why governor Ishaku will bring the party to cleaner after benefiting from the party as its governorship candidate for the 2015 general election.

“Its a well known fact that there was never a PDP primary election in Taraba state, Governor Ishaku was imposed from Abuja by the same people he’s complaining of destroying the party,” the group said.

The PDP members however asked the governor to retract his statement that PDP leaders became arrogant after 16 years in power.

Bala said if the governor fails to retract its statement, a sanction should be imposed on him in order to maintain party supremacy.

The party members lamented that Governor Ishaku is becoming “too arrogant as a PDP member and a state governor, his polices are undermining the legacies of past PDP administration in Taraba state and the party is becoming unpopular in the state.”

The group stressed that elections won by the PDP has never been keenly challenged by its opposition at the Tribunal as Ishaku is facing now.

“Today PDP members are praying and fasting that its party does not loss the state to the APC at the election tribunal because its glaring that our candidate was very unpopular during the last election.”
