Eight members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Caretaker Committee in Taraba State have distanced themselves from a list of a purported newly elected state executive committee allegedly released by the former caretaker chairman, Dr. Victor Fallack.

In a joint statement signed on Sunday, the members said the list being circulated by Dr. Fallack — in which he reportedly named himself chairman and included some of them as members — was compiled without their knowledge or consultation.

The signatories stressed that they do not recognise the list and have formally dissociated themselves from it in order to prevent confusion within the party.
According to the statement, the action taken by the former chairman was carried out “single-handedly without consulting any member of the Caretaker Committee.”

They explained that the clarification became necessary in the interest of the party and to maintain peace and stability in Taraba State.

The members reaffirmed their commitment as party stakeholders and citizens to promoting unity and peaceful political engagement at all times.

They also commended party delegates across the state for their orderly conduct during the recently concluded ward, local government and state congresses.

“We want to thank all our delegates for the matured way they conducted themselves from the wards to the local government areas and the state congresses,” the statement added.

Those who signed the statement, as noticed by Daily Post, include Terna Anzamber (Donga LGA), Hikon Hosea (Wukari LGA), Hamisu Maigari (Gassol LGA), Zubulun Dauda Hamman (Karim Lamido LGA), Yakubu Balutu (Karim Lamido LGA), Hauwa Adam Imam (Jalingo LGA), Ali Musa (Takum LGA), and Hon. Polycarp Apura (Ussa/Yangtu LGA).

The signatories reiterated their commitment to the unity of the PDP and urged party members across the state to remain calm while efforts continue to strengthen internal democratic processes.
