He disclosed this in reaction to an allegation raised by the Taraba state chairman of APC, Alhaji Ibrahim El-Suldi.
El-Suldi had accused the governor of lying about his achievements in the state. In fact, the APC asked the governor to make a public refund for federal projects according to Guardian Newspaper.
He said:
“El-Suldi and most of APC leaders in Taraba are Abuja politicians who only come home during elections, and as such, they have lost touch of development at home. In fact, most of them have not visited their electoral wards in the past two years.
“In El-Suldi’s village in Gashaka local government, the governor has renovated the health centre there and is one of the best primary health care centres in the state.
“There is no electoral ward in Taraba today that has not benefitted from the Governor’s intervention either through road construction, water, education and health among others."
