2019: APC HEADING FOR A CRASH – PARTY CHIEFTAIN
2019:
APC HEADING FOR A CRASH – PARTY CHIEFTAIN
Alhaji Sani Mallam, an All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain
and immediate former adviser to Governor Abubakar of Bauchi state on special
duties, has stated that the party is heading for a crash ahead of the 2019
election.
He stated that this would happen if the ruling party failed to
conduct its primary election through the congress system.
Mallam exclusively told DAILY POST in Bauchi on Thursday that
aggrieved APC supporters were waiting for the final outcome on the debate from
Thursday’s NEC meeting after which they would decide whether to dump the party
or stay.
He said, “We are patiently waiting to hear the final decision of
APC NEC on the possibility of congress primary election which is being agitated
for as the best way to producing credible candidates for the party come 2019,
which most APC governors seem to kick against because of their personal interest.”
Mallam maintained that the APC as a party has placed itself under
a litmus test on the possibility of surviving its internal challenges ahead of
the 2019 election.
The party chieftain blamed APC woes on party leaders’ impunity and
lack of internal democracy by the leaders whose personal interest is supreme
“The situation in APC currently is the same as that of a pregnant
woman especially if the party refuses to agree on a congress primary. Should
that be the case, APC supporters may definitely dump the party for the
opposition,” he warned.
The APC chieftain therefore advised the party’s NWC and NEC to
reconsider the demands of its members on congress primary or risk losing
supporters at the 2019 election.
