Ahead of the meeting of the National Executive Council (NEC) of the All Progressive Congress (APC) slated for September 12, the APC North Central Forum has alleged that some individuals and groups have been bribed and recruited by some enemy forces to betray the North Central region by endorsing the embattled National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje....READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE ▶▶
In a statement issued to newsmen in Jos the Plateau State capital and a copy made available to Daily Independent on Tuesday by the forum’s chairman, Alhaji Saleh Mandung Zazzaga, the forum Chairman alleged that the desperation of the dark forces of the North Central region is already showing through their greed and insensitivity in betraying the region in terms of the position of the National Chairmanship position of the party.
According to Zazzaga, the North Central region would not be deterred by the action of the few betrayers and will not compromise anything or stop at nothing to clinch back the National Chairmanship position of the Party (APC) which has been arranged by the party to be in the region.
Zazzaga who was also a member of the Presidential Campaign Council in the last election, explained that after the resignation of the former National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, who is from Nasarawa State, and as well as from the North Central region, the position shouldn’t have been taken to another region.
The Chairman said the role played by the North Central region in the success of the APC since 2015 till date cannot be overemphasized, including the role the region played in the emergence of President Bola Tinubu in 2023.
He stressed that the region was also able to clinch five of the governorship seats in the six states of the region.
“Therefore, the endorsement of Ganduje on Monday by a former President of the Senate, Ameh Ebute, who claims to be representing some APC elders from the Central APC for Ganduje to remain as the party’s national chairman is laughable and inconsequential. Ebute happens to be the most unpopular Senate president who only spent three months and nothing notable was done by him, neither is he known for any achievement.
“The endorsement which comes four days after the North Central Governors’ Forum, led by the Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, endorsed Ganduje is only showing the selfishness of some of the people from the region who are hell bent on doing things for their personal interest and not in the interest of the region and its people.
