A chieftain of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) and former military
administrator of Lagos and Borno states,
General Buba Marwa has dismissed claims
that Governor Murtala Nyako is the
leader of the APC in Adamawa State.
Speaking in Yola at a press conference, he
said the claims by Nyako and his
supporters that any sitting governor is
automatically the leader of APC which
makes Nyako the leader of the party in
the state is completely wrong as only the
11 governors who contested on the
platform of the legacy parties were given
that privilege by virtue of their
contributions to the party.
“Our party is built on the principles of
fairness, equity and rule of law and we
should not expect the party to treat its
original members who were responsible
for its success unjustly,” he said.
“We welcome Nyako into our fold as the
more the number, the merrier it is,
especially looking at the significance of
Nyako. But we are not happy with the way
and manner of his entry.
“When you go to a new house, you have to
knock and wait for the door to be opened
and introduce yourself, but Nyako did not
do that; instead, he went directly into the
bedroom. But it is not too late to take the
necessary corrective steps”.
When contacted, APC’s North-east
national vice chairman, Alhaji Umar Duhu
noted that the APC laws are unwavering
and unambiguous.
He explained that ‘’The law states that all
privileges accorded to APC governors will
be extended to the entire gallant five
progressive governors who joined the
APC recently. All governors are to drive
the party activities in their respective
states.”
Meanwhile, the Director of Press and
Public Affairs to Gov Nyako, Mohammed
Sajoh has described as untrue the
insinuation by Gen. Muhammadu Buba
Marwa that Gov Nyako is not the leader of
the party in Adamawa, saying the
statement was made in bad faith.
“The statement made by Marwa to the
effect that Nyako is not the leader of the
party is unfortunate. As one of the
aspiring members of APC, Marwa ought to
go back and learn the agreement made by
the founding fathers of the APC, so that he
could be better informed,” he said.

. . . and take over the madam!

ckkris: . . . and take over the madam!

You make me laugh well well ,but on a serious Note I think ,The APC leadership is been very Unfair to their loyalist,Bafarawa, Marwa ,Belgore et al have laboured consistently for their parties and were also instrumental to APC formation.
This people in their right are also founding Members of the APC.
Not consulting them in this romance with G7 may finally consume the broom and completely destroy their party .

Whoever think that there wont be crisis, cross carpeting as a result of the G5 governos moves is deluding himself. U dont expect the founding members of the party to be happy being relegated. And u dont also expect PDP not to cash in on that to garner strong political heavyweights from that.

Its a chess game real politics have began

Dis is just d beginning of confusion in apc. D next will b btw Shekarau n Kwakwaso in Kano and so it will go till 2015.

This is where individual ambition needs to be sacrificed for the party to grow. Buba Marwa should know better than what he said. Does Marwa think he should be in control of the state structure? He cannot expect a sitting governor to take order from him or any other member in the state. APC has the rule that a sitting Governor controls the state even if the Governor had just moved from another party. There is no ambiguity there. The rules have been there for months before the Governors moved to APC.

Marwa is free to go back to PDP where he came from if he disagrees with the rule.

This marwa self. who dose marwa stand for by debating who is to control party in a state. If Marwa is really fighting for a course of good governance and a change that will make all of us to laough in dis country then he should support this move and sacrisfice his ambition

Nobody is telling Nyako to sacrifice his own ambition.
