PDP tears into Sule for failing to justify his position as Governor
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Nasarawa Governor Abdullahi Sule is under raps from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for collecting N14.4 billion security vote for four years without using it to protect the North Central state, part of the orbit of Islamist jihadists.
State PDP Campaign Council Director General Labaran Maku said people are no longer able to go to their farms because there is no more peace in Nasarawa.
The former Information Minister spoke at Wamba Council headquarters in continuation of PDP hustings across the agrarian state.
“Since the coming of APC, there is nothing to show for their credit. They have wasted our time. They didn’t allow us to enjoy peace, as hunger took toll on the people, while unemployment became the order of the day,” he said.
“There is no electricity in Toto since 2015, but imagine [the] wickedness that since Sule became Governor of Nasarawa State, he [has] collected not less than N300 million monthly as security vote but failed to rectify the issue.”
Maku explained if multiplied by 12 months, a N300 million monthly security vote is N3.6 billion per year, and when that is multiplied by four years, it becomes N14.4 billion which Sule has collected as security vote in his tenure of four years.

PDP achievements in Nasarawa
“So, if you give the incoming PDP government the N14.4 billion, I am sure Toto doesn’t need up to N1 billion to have electricity.
“People no longer go to their farms because there is no longer peace in the land despite the N14.4 billion security vote given to the Governor,” Maku said, per ThisDay.
“That is why we are calling on you that this forth coming general election will not be a joke.”
Maku recounted that in the beginning of Nasarawa as a state, it was under the PDP because people voted for the party in 1999 nearly 100 per cent, hence all developments in the state were under the administration of the PDP.
“PDP established Nasarawa Broadcasting Service (NBS), the Lafia Township Stadium. PDP formed Nasarawa United FC. The state School of Nursing and the state Polytechnic.
“PDP established the Nasarawa State University Keffi (NSUK), Federal University of Lafia, Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Keffi, Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital (DASH), Lafia, CBN Lafia branch, and constructed the Lafia-Awe road as well as the Lafia-Doma road.”
On the other hand, Maku said, there is nothing to show for the administration of Maku, a member of the All Progressives Alliance (APC).
