Worried by the inability of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to wax stronger call has been made on President Bola Tinubu, National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and other leaders of goodwill to take steps to revive the party in Adamawa State.
Some leading stakeholders of the party in Adamawa State made the appeal during the weekend in Yola, expressing fears that the APC which has been losing its prominence in the state since 2019 and then 2023 shows little sign of being better in 2027, thereby requiring urgent intervention.
The group of Concerned Stakeholders, led by a former state deputy chairman, Alhaji Saidu Naira, stressed that the APC which lost the governorship election in the past two election seasons evidently owing to intra-party wrangling, appears today to be even worse in terms of internal harmony towards 2027
At the meeting addressed by Saidu Naira and other leaders, the stakeholders noted that the APC which once produced the three senators from the state as well as nearly all the House of Representative members and a comfortable majority of House of Assembly lawmakers now has no senator, only three of eight Reps members and eight House of Assembly members.
The APC Chieftain said, “Things are worsening steadily.
” Since the 2023 election, no genuine move has been made to reconcile aggrieved persons.
“People are feeling abandoned and some are already leaving the party.”
He said the party at the state level has been hijacked by some powerful individuals and require the big people in Abuja to intervene.
“As it is the present state leadershi of the party are gagged and muzzled, hence don’t have power to move the party forward.
He specifically appealed to the APC national chairman, Umar Ganduje to take necessary steps.
“We suggest that the national chairman should form a committee to come to Adamawa, to listen to members and take all the steps necessary to revive the party and make it one big united and winning party once again,” Saidu Mohammed said.
