The Kogi State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, has informed the party’s national leadership and President elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), of plans to hijack the party structure by selfish politicians in the state.
The Chairman of APC Kogi Central Senatorial District Action Committee, Hon Suleiman Ibrahim, in a letter to the national leadership, described the call for former governor, Prince Abubakar Audu to “Step aside from the party’s leadership in the zone”, as unfortunate, misleading and ploy to hijack the party structure after its successful outing at the just concluded general election.
He said Audu’s leadership of the APC in Kogi State is neither self-imposed nor appointed, “but by virtue of the position of the party‘s organizational policy that where the party has a sitting Governor, the sitting Governor automatically leads the party, and where as in the case of Kogi State, which has a former elected Governor as earned by Prince Abubakar Audu, he coordinates the affairs and leads the party”.
Ibrahim, therefore, urged the APC National Leadership and president-elect Buhari to disregard misleading messages from politicians who are not known in Ebira land or Okene during the preparation for the successful story of APC in the last elections under the able leadership of Prince Audu in Kogi State.
“These politicians and their leadership, are absurd and unknown to the party in Kogi Central Zone and in Kogi State as a whole. They never contributed morally, materially and monetarily towards the progress of APC in Kogi State and thus their short cut measure of courting attention is to disparage a hard working Leader of our party in Kogi State”, he maintained.
