An All Progressives Congress, APC, member
of the House of Representatives, Ishaq Kana,
has said that his party could soon crash and
split into factions.
Mr. Kana, who represents Keffi-Karu-Kokona
constituency of Nasarawa State, said that
with the imposition of party leaders at the
grassroot, he foresees the emergence of an
APC faction.
The lawmaker told journalists that the
imposition of party leaders mostly in the
north- central states by some interim leaders
of the party will cause the crisis.
He accused the interim North Central vice
chairman of the APC, Ahmed Aboki, of
actions that could de-stabilise the party. He
claimed the vice chairman is working with
fifth columnist who decamped from
Nigeria’s ruling Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, to the APC to create confusion and give
the ruling party a chance to break the ranks
of the opposition.
He also accused Mr. Aboki of not consulting
stakeholders in taking decisions.
Mr. Kana also warned that unless urgent
steps are taken to address the imposition of
local party leaders, the APC would crash.
“Some times I will only hear certain decision
on radio without my input or other
stakeholders,” he said. “I have complained
severally to governor Almakura to call the
vice chairman to order, but despite the
intervention of the governor and his
promise to make amends, he still repeats
same mistakes.”
The lawmaker called for the removal of the
vice chairman. He also disclosed that several
petitions have been written to the national
secretariat of the party, which prompted
him to address the media.
Mr. Aboki could not be reached for his
reaction as his telephone was switched off.
