*Moves against Shagaya, Tapgun, Hirse, Lar, others<\/p>\n

By HENRY UMORU<\/strong><\/p>\n

ABUJA-The fact that the governor or deputy governor of a state can only be removed by ill- heath, impeachment or other conditions as stipulated in the 1999 Constitution, notwithstanding, the leadership of the ruling People\u2019s Democratic Party, PDP, in Plateau State has urged Governor Jonah Jang to, immediately sack his deputy, Mrs. Pauline Tallen.<\/p>\n

The state PDP Chairman, Dr. Haruna Dabin, in a letter to the acting National Chairman, Dr. Bello Haliru Mohammed, stressed that the call for Mrs Tallen\u2019s sack became imperative because she decamped from PDP to Labour Party on which platform she contested the April 26 governorship election.<\/p>\n

Other former PDP bigwigs also listed by Dabin who can no longer serve in any organ of the party from the state are Senator John Shagaya, currently representing Plateau South who also moved to the Labour Party; former Minister of Industry, Ambassador Fidelis Tapgun, Ambassador Bagudu Hirse; Emmanuel Danboyia and Dina Lar.<\/p>\n

Others are James Ayuba, Ibrahim Hassan, Abbas Wokdung, Sadat Garga, and Nanpon Bongden.<\/p>\n

The letter, which was copied the Senate President, Senator David Mark; Governor Jang; the Speaker, Plateau State House of Assembly, Istifanus Mwansat read in part, \u2018\u2019since these defected members were elected on the platform of our great party, we are by this letter requesting you to use your good offices to remove them from office, especially the Deputy Governor, who is seeking for election on the platform of another party.<\/p>\n

\u201dSame treatment should be applied to those in national and state assemblies, who hold party positions.\u201d
Vanguard recalls that Tallen contested the last PDP governorship primaries with Jang after some disagreements and lost.<\/p>\n

Later, Jang replaced her with Ignatius Datong Longjan thus necessitating the Deputy Governor\u2019s defection to the Labour Party where she also contested the governorship election and lost to Jang.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
