At the moment, both political parties are claiming glory for making the resurrection of the project possible since it had lain fallow and unattended to by previous PDP administrations. PDP APC PoliticalParties Politics PowerProject Nigeria
The Mambilla Hydro Power project located in Sardauna Local Government Area of Taraba State, which is now gradually translating into reality if work continues at the same pace, would no doubt catapult the rating of All Progressives Congress in the state to the high heavens. But it would as well further strengthen the Peoples Democratic Parry in Taraba, which is bent on maintaining its leadership position in the state ahead of the next election.
Tenaciously holding to Ishaku’s claims that as minister of power he redesigned Mambilla dam from 2,000 megawatts to the present 3,050 megawatts capacity, both sides agree that in spite of politics, Ishaku demonstrated rare candour at the sensitization meeting in the actualisation of the Mambilla Hydropower dam, which recently took place in Abuja.
While some stakeholders at the said meeting argued that the governor’s statement was aimed at scoring cheap publicity for PDP, others were of the view that honour should actually be given to those who deserved it. Majority of the persons, who spoke on the issue who did not want their names in print, particularly traditional rulers, strongly commended President Buhari for making the project a reality.
“If PDP had the desire and wanted to continue controlling this state I think the former PDP presidents should have placed the Mambilla project where it ought to be by now.” On his own part, Minister of Power, Mamman, who said he was adhering strictly to the president’s directives to ensure work continues on the project, said nothing would slow the project down.
