He openly raised concerned about Former Speaker Balarabe’s sway in Toto LG.

It was reliably gathered that Abdullahi Ibrahim Sa’ad, representing Umaisha/Ugya state constituency in the Nasarawa State House of Assembly and a member of the People’s Democratic Party, voiced frustration during a meeting in Toto town today Sunday with a few All Progressives Congress, APC, members in the LG.

The PDP lawmaker, in a state of desperation, notified his host that the APC structure remains solidly in place under the leadership of Rt. Hon. Ibrahim Balarabe Abdullahi and urged the select few to do all they could do to ensure that the forthcoming congress elects new party officials to aligned with their personal interests and break the power of Balarabe in the LG if not they can not make their ways.

Sa’ad Abdullahi has consistently expressed concerns regarding the former Speaker of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Ibrahim Balarabe Abdullahi, citing the overwhelming influence of the APC leader and former Speaker saying that even with the Appeal Court that removed him his strength and status still remains intact at the LG as he still maintains all his structures adding that it has render efforts for his removal ineffective and he is still left unchecked.

Abdullahi Sa’ad opened up to his APC host that his return to the party is impossible while the former Speaker Balarabe continues to lead and maintains his supporters and structures.

According to him, the removal of Rt. Hon Balarabe at the Appeal Court did not tarnish his image, as he remained in the party’s favor.

This development has further exposed Sa’ad and his host, the APC members ineffective and put their future political prospects which was one of their reasons to gang up for his removal under threat.

After engaging in series of secret meetings which has now publicly disclosed.

A source who attended the meeting and wishes to remain anonymous revealed that the PDP lawmaker openly stated to his host that the APC structure remains intact under Rt. Hon. Balarabe, adding that the Appeal Court’s decision to remove the former Speaker have not weakened him politically, given his extensive network across the LG.

This has further exposed the characters of both the host and Sa’ad as the most significant political failures in the history of Toto LG. The people of Toto LG, especially those from Umaisha/Ugya axis, have expressed disappointment over Sa’ad’s inadequate representation in the assembly chamber.

Although, it was further confirmed that there is presently a cool war between some leaders in the area who have used Sa’ad to achieve their aims to remove Balarabe as Speaker, as they are said to be in crisis of finance used at the court and failed in some agreements among themselves as well as the disappointment coming from Sa’ad the placeholder himself.
