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."
