A member of the care taker committee of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Ismal’il Ahmad has said the headquarters of the party was yet to recognize any candidate as the legitimate Chairman of the party in Kano State
Isma’il Ahmad, the National Youth leader of the party, made the revelation in an interview with newsmen in Kano.
He said the party headquarters will deliberate on the matter before making its decision public while noting that the representatives of the party that monitored the congresses were yet to submit their reports to the party
Following internal differences, two factional leaders emerged from the October 16th state Congress of the party, with Abdullahi Abbas and Haruna Danzago both laying claim to the position.
His disclosure contradicted the position of Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje who on Wednesday, announced that the National headquarters of the party has recognized Abdullahi Abbas as party chair or a similar claim by Ibrahim Shekarau, the former governor of the state that the party has recognised Ahmadu Haruna Danzago as the Chairman of the party in the state.
The same scenario is payout in Enugu where party sources said the report credited to News Agency of Nigeria, NAN that a former Commissioner, Ugochukwu Agballa has been ratified as the authentic chairman of the party.
The member of the party’s national caretaker committee of the party said the NAN report was joke taken too stressing that the party hasn’t started meeting with regards to the congresses which is yet to be concluded across the country.
“How can anyone be talking about ratification at this time? The party is in a critical stage in its history and we’re occupied with concluding the congresses in some states the exercise was cancelled.
“They said our secretary, Akpanudoedehe wrote that later? That’s very funny and kindergarten propaganda in politics please. Have you forgotten that even Akwa Ibom where our Secretary came from produced three chairmen? Has anyone being identified as the authentic chairman there?
“That report is fake please,” the leader of the party told our correspondent.
