2023 presidency: PDP, LP, APC, battle for soul of Taraba
The presidential election battle in Taraba State is likely to be on a tripod- among the candidates of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and that of the Labour Party, LP.
Though PDP prospects of emerging victorious in the state is evident, it is not going to be achieved on a platter of gold as the leadership of both the APC and the LP are leaving no stone unturned to win the hearts of the electorates, especially at the grassroots levels.
The PDP, which has been presiding over the affairs of the state since the advent of democracy in 1999, is optimistic that its presidential candidate will have a smooth ride to victory.
Citing the Muslim/Muslim Presidential ticket of the APC, which many described as the greatest mistake made by the party, Christian clerics have been using their pulpits to admonish their worshippers to go for political parties that have joint faith tickets.
The state chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, who also doubles as the Deputy National President of the association, Isaiah Magaji Jirapye, it would be recalled, had on several occasions beckoned on worshipers not to back the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
The inability of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the APC to reach out to the state with its campaign train, will also no doubt negatively affect the performance of the party in the presidential poll slated for next week Saturday.
As a result of the internal wrangling in the state chapter of the party, the campaign rally to the state has been postponed three times
