Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Member representing Nguroje constituency at the Taraba State House of Assembly, Bashir Mohammed, has revealed that 34 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had wanted the ministerial slot for Taraba State.<\/p>\n

Mohammed made this known on Sunday in Jalingo during the reception of the Minister of State, Works and Housing, Engineer Muazu Magaji Sambo.<\/p>\n

He argued that the problem of the party in the State was self interest.<\/p>\n

He passionately called on the Minister to take control of the party in the State.<\/p>\n

State Chairman, APC, Barrister Ibrahim El-Sudi, said the coming of Sambo was a good omen for Taraba and urged Tarabans to appreciate God for the gift of such an experienced hand.<\/p>\n

Also, a top notch of the party, Engineer Ahmed Yusuf advised APC stakeholders to unite in the interest of the party.<\/p>\n

While responding, the new Minister of State, Works and Housing, Sambo warned party members against selfish interest, urging them to work for the unity of the party in the State.<\/p>\n

Stressing that his appointment was divine as he did not lobby for the ministerial position, he beckoned on those calling on him to aspire for the number one position of the State, to as a matter of urgency, desist.<\/p>\n

He stating that \u201cI am not interested in becoming governor but to serve the State in my capacity as Minister. \u201d<\/p>\n

He said \u201cI did not come to look for governor. Mine is to serve and go for further studies. I never knew I would be a Minister. It is God that gives power. Sometimes he gives you even if you did not look for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
