Having lost the ticket of his party, the immediate past Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, is scheming to manoeuvre his way to become the governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Nasarawa, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.

Mr. Maku’s bid to become Nasarawa governor on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was dashed when he lost the party’s primaries to Yusuf Agabi, who polled 214 votes to the ex-minister’s 160. Mr. Maku has since rejected the result of the primary alleging irregularities.

However, rather than remain within his party to either support the winner or challenge the primary in court, Mr. Maku is working with some leaders of the Labour Party to become the party’s candidate. A major hindrance to the ex-minister’s plans, however, is the firm stance of Innocent Lagi to retain his candidacy of the Labour Party.

Mr. Lagi was elected unopposed at the Labour Party primary held in Akwanga on December 10.

PREMIUM TIMES learnt that since Mr. Maku realised the PDP would not revert the result of the primaries, he has been holding series of meeting with Labour Party leaders including Mr. Lagi to replace the latter.

The Labour Party candidate confirmed that he had held two meetings with Mr. Maku.

"I had two meetings with Maku wanting to know what was happening,” Mr. Lagi told PREMIUM TIMES. “I made it clear to him and showed him certified true copies of my certificate as the candidate of the party because the party didn't tell him that primaries were already conducted".

GEJ would have also been humiliated if he had not manoeuvred his way in. Most of his Ministers lost the Primaries to some relatively unpopular aspirants. Wike would have lost the primaries as well. Anyway, Wike, GEJ and all other PDP clowns who manoeuvred their ways in would surely lose. By 2015 PDP would be left with at most 8 States!

Very selfiush of him. Good for Labour parry tho.

I remember one of his live chats in a program on channels television where he was praising Pdp and criticising Apc.
And now he wants to follow the footsteps of samuel Ortom.
So many pretenders in government

This is shameful. Imagine the noisemaker not been able to win a governorship primaries in his state. He's just an empty drum with arrogant personality.

..so much 4 loyalty! Simply "Political Prostitution", the oldest trade to mankind.

Laughing in spanish i think Doyin okupe should learn from this story.
