Why Ex-governor Dariye Deserved To Be Jailed – Plateau PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Plateau State chapter has applauded the ruling of an FCT High Court sentencing former Governor of the State, Joshua Dariye to 14 years imprisonment.

It could be recalled that the Justice Adebukola Banjoko-led court had yesterday found the former governor guilty of 15 of the 23 criminal charges brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

However, PDP, in its reaction described Dariye’s conviction as a landmark judgement and victory against corruption.

Hon. John Akans, Public Relations Officer of the state PDP, said the time has certainly come for the party to reclaim its stolen mandate from APC.

Hon. Akans told The Sun that the party decided not to drag the former governor to court when he defected to the All Progressive Congress (APC) with the mandate of PDP because it was established that he will not escape jail.

“This is the hour we in the PDP have all been waiting for, the law has taken it course, it was a landmark judgement that has created an avenue for PDP to reclaim its stolen mandate.

“We gave Dariye overwhelming vote during the 2015 Senatorial elections in the state and he won the election under the platform of PDP but he disappointed the party by jumping to the ruling APC in search of refuge following his corrupt cases in court. No matter how long the case will take there must be a judgement day and today is the Day of Judgement.”
