He hinged on his belief thatOnoja has paid his due, noting that one good turn deserve another.”
However, the remark didn’t go down well with many APC chieftains from the West and Central districts
They were all infuriated and berated Senator Isah for making such statement, accusing him of derailing from the meeting
They said that they were disappointed because the remark snarked of ethnicity.
“I don’t think it is right to be discussing this kind of issue now. The East has governed the state for 16 years with the Central just carrying out their second term, while the West has not even takena single shot,” said a chieftain.
He added: “Suffice to say that the senator’s statement is a distraction to the main issue of galvanising the state supports for the governor’s presidential ambition. It is quite disappointing that someone of such standing, or anybody for that matter, could be harbouring such thoughts.”
stakeholders in attendance were said to be taken by surprise as Isah introduced what a chieftain of the party called ethnic dimension to the event of the day.
