I worked for the victory of APC - PDP Chieftain says

A chieftain of PDP and former Governor of Plateau state, Ambassador Fidelis Tapgun, yesterday revealed that he worked towards the victory of the APC both at the state and federal levels during the general elections. Addressing newsmen at his home in Jos yesterday April 21st, the former Governor said the imposition of candidates during the elections by some state governors was what made him take the decision to work against his party.
“I contributed to the success of the APC in the state because my party failed. My party failed to zone the governorship to the southern part and that was the greatest error made by the party. The APC fortunately zoned the governorship to the southern part and it won. Contributing to the APC victory was not because we were gratified, it was not hidden at all; it was not done behind the scene.
