Borno Federal Constituency Threaten To Dump APC

The people of Kaga/ Magumeri/ Gubio Federal Constituency have threatened to dump the All Progressives Congress APC in Borno state. The people of the constituency who have always voted for the APC in previous elections in the state said their decision to dump the party is as a result of the way and manner in which impunity has found its way into the party.

Our correspondent gathered that the decision of the state governor and the party in the state to foist candidates on the people who are not acceptable to them informed their decision to dump the party. They decried a situation whereby the list of delegates were continually changed in order to make it difficult for aspirants to know and access those who are delegates by the leadership of the party a ploy which is aimed at ensuring the emergence of their anointed candidates.

One of the people who spoke with our correspondent Aminu Mohammed said the people are not happy with the party and will show the APC that the people will not accept impunity no matter what it takes. ''We are ready to dump the APC for treating our leaders without respect and our voice will be made known at the forthcoming general elections next year. Whoever the APC brings will lose because we will vote against them in favour of our known leaders''.

Another person who spoke to our correspondent said Hon. Mohammed Sanda Ngamdu has represented them well since he became a member of the House of Representatives stressing that the lack of respect shown to him by the state governor and the party will boomerang when the chips are down. The respondent who did not want his name mentioned said nothing will make them allow the injustice in the party to stand.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body.
