Ex-Minister Labaran Maku defeated in Nasarawa PDP Primary

Politics in Nigeria is not too much talk, it is about building structure and winning the hearts of the electorate who have the final say. This example was evident in the election between then Governor Ikedi Ohakim and Rochas Okorocha, while the former was just talking, the latter was reaching out.

From what I observed, this is what affected former minister of information, Labaran Maku, and the decision of President Goodluck Jonathan not to interfere should also be commended.

Maku and seven others were defeated squarely at the Peoples Democratic Party primary election.

Mr. Maku was beaten to a second place by a little known politician, Yusuf Agabi, at the Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa venue of the primary election. The man is not really known, but he consulted widely.

The governorship primary election which was supervised by former Senate President Adolphus Wabara saw Mr Agabi garnering 214 votes to defeat Labaran Maku who scored 160.
