All Progressives Congress, APC, in Bauchi State is far from sight as the faction controlled by the House of Representatives Speaker, on Sunday, conducted parallel ward congresses.
Speaker Dogara
It was gathered that the situation may further deepen the political gulf between the supporters of the state governor, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar, on one hand and majority of members of National Assembly from the state on the other hand, thereby putting the APC in the state in a precarious position ahead of the 2019 general elections.
One of the leaders of the other faction, Senator Nazif Suleiman Gamawa, representing Bauchi North senatorial district, accused the ward congress committee led by Dr Tony Macfoy of being partial and doing the bidding of Governor Abubakar, thereby violating the guidelines of the APC in the process.”
Suleiman Gamawa, who addressed journalists late Sunday night at his residence in Bauchi, said Macfoy’s declaration that the ward congresses election his committee conducted on Saturday was free and fair was a big lie.
He said: “What he did was unfortunate and very sad. APC is a party that we are proud of. It is a party that is supposed to be a party of justice and we expected nothing better than.”
