I’ve no regret dumping PDP for APC -Tallen

A former Depu­ty Governor of Plateau State, Dame Pauline Tallen, said she has no regret for dumping the Peo­ples Democratic Par­ty (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

It would be recalled that Tallen dumped the then ruling PDP at the twilight of the admin­istration.

She stated this in a chat with journalists in Jos yesterday.

According to her, “I am thanking God for dumping the PDP at the right time; lack of inter­nal democracy and im­position in the party was unbearable; I saw the crack coming in the party.

Tallen who was a one-time Minister of Science and Technology said, “When I was about leav­ing the PDP, some of my friends advised me why. I told them I was follow­ing my heart and I am glad that I left the PDP at the right time.

Commenting on President Muhammadu Buhari’s one year in of­fice, she said the Pres­ident has proved that he has what it takes to move Nigeria forward.

“President Buhari has been able to tackle in­security in the North-Eastern part of the country.

“He has also reduced the level of corruption in the country. Our President has been able to recover funds that were looted by corrupt office holders.

Tallen who is Papal Knight, called on citi­zens of the country to support the APC-led government, saying they are determined to better the lives of Nige­rians.
