Group says Tallen, Dimka, Komsol, others are PDP moles in APC
A group, Plateau APC Renaissance Movement (PAPCRM) says the Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs Pauline Tallen, Plateau Central Senator, Hezekiah Dimka, among many others, are moles of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) who are working against the interests of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateau State.
Chairman of the group, Mr George Yilji, who made this known in a statement issued in Jos on Thursday, said that federal lawmaker, Komsol Alphonsus Longgap, is also among the PDP moles in APC, and accused the APC stalwarts of insincerity, adding that they were working for the PDP ahead of Saturday’s gubernatorial and state assembly elections in the state.
“We have it on good authority that the minister and a federal lawmaker Hon.Komsol Alphonsus Longgap ,who got elected under the platform of our great party, the APC has been deeply involved in large scale anti-party activities and have thrown their support to the main opposition party in the state .
“We have it on good authority that Pauline Tallen also worked against the party in the recently concluded Presidential election in the state but hurriedly went to congratulate the President elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu when he was declared winner .
”As we speak, Tallen has directed her supporters, led by Comrade Prince Maiphen, who served as a member of the Presidential Campaign Council of the APC’s now President-elect, Bola Tinubu, to work for the PDP Governorship Candidate, Caleb Mutfwang,” the group alleged.
PAPCRM also alleged that Sen Dimka and his followers have endorsed Mutfwang and were working for him to win Saturday’s election, and called on the APC national headquarters to expel him for anti-party activities.
The group further said,”Sen Dimka and his cohorts should be cut to size by the hierarchy of the party, and should not be allowed to think that he is bigger than the party.
“We call on the APC at the national headquarters to impose maximum sanction on the recalcitrant Senator, Pauline Tallen ,Hon Komsol and others working against the APC in our state as we approach the governorship election.
“Gov Simon Lalong and the Governorship Candidate of the APC Dr Nentawe Yilwatda have shown capacity in taking the party to victory.
”Party politics has rules and regulations. Senator Dimka ,the Minister of Women Affairs, Dame Pauline Tallen and their cohorts have been destabilizing the APC for a while, they worked against our party at the recently conducted Presidential election and are planning to do so in the Governorship polls .”
PAPCRM, therefore, called on the national leadership of APC, led by Senator Adamu Abdullahi to treat the issues it raised as a matter of urgency and expel the alleged culprits.
The group explained that such a drastic action was necessary to ensure that the party wins the election, adding that “it is very dangerous to deal with enemies within the APC .”
