A section of the Zamfara State Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress has called on the National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, to intervene in the crisis rocking the state chapter which it described as worrisome.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the recent crisis in the state chapter of the party led to the purported suspension of the chairman, Alhaji Tukur Danfulani, by the Galadima ward APC executive in Gusau Local Government Area of the state.
The state executive committee, on Friday, reportedly suspended a member of the House of Representatives, Aminu Jaji, over what it termed alleged anti-party activities.
The Assistant State Secretary of the party, Mansur Khalifa, who addressed newsmen in Gusau, on Sunday, after the stakeholders’ meeting, described the current situation of the party in the state as worrisome.
The APC assistant scribe said the party was for every lawful member, adding, “I believe the party is not a property of any individual.
“We are appealing to the National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Abdullahi Ganduje, to intervene in the matter to save the Zamfara APC chapter.”
Khalifa condemned the recent suspension of Jaji, saying, “I believe a constitutional provision of the party does not allow such unlawful decisions.
“This is a clear indication that the party in the state has no focus and leadership. Jaji is one of the founding fathers of the APC, he is serving the party in his capacity, and he is one of the strongest APC lawmakers we have in Zamfara State.”
According to him, suspending Jaji from the APC in Zamfara State was a big setback to the party.
Khalifa said, “We called this meeting to discuss the way forward for our great party, we will not allow our great party to be destroyed.
“We believe some anti-progressive politicians are trying to cause disunity and instability in our great party.
“As members of the state executive committee of the party, we will not fold our arms to allow some selfish individuals to destroy the party.”
The meeting, which was presided over by Khalifa, was attended by the state APC Vice Chairman, Alhaji Isiyaka Ajiya, Bashir Ahmad, State Organising Secretary and the Treasurer, Alhaji Ibrahim Adamu.
Others were the state Assistant Welfare Secretary, Shehu Muhammad, Assistant Financial Secretary, Bello Mahe, Zonal Youth Leader in Zamfara North, Musa Muhammad and the Assistant State Treasurer, Ibrahim Dankulodo, among others.
