Kano Boko Haram Attack; Blame Kwankwaso says Shekarau

Shekarau rejects Kwankwaso as Kano APC leader

Prof Corruption: Shallow and pedestrian.

A former Governor of Kano State, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, on Wednesday led a delegation of All Progressives Congress in the state to the national secretariat of the party in Abuja to protest against the coming of the Governor of the state, Alhaji Rabiu Kwankwaso, to the opposition party.

Shekarau, who spoke when he addressed some leaders of the party in Abuja, led by its Interim National Chairman, Bisi Akande, and a former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Shekarau recalled the efforts made by the opposition parties in Kano State towards the success of the merger of opposition parties.

He said, “Being experienced persons in the politics of this country, I believe you know very well the politics of Kano State. We have been working hard to make the party succeed.

“Kano had five members in the merger planning committee, so Kano will be the last state that will do anything to make the party fail. Politics is about people. If we do not have people, there will not be a party.

“We have come to register our displeasure with the leadership of the party. What we are presenting is the feelings of the people we represent. There is no sector of the party that is not represented.

“We have worked hard to make the party successful, I think when we were forming the party,we had a vision of internal democracy in building APC and if we cannot continue with that vision, then we should forget democracy in Nigeria”.

A former Chairman of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party in the state, Sani Hotori, said APC was a product of patience and sacrifice committed by opposition parties.

He said, “Although we have not seen the Memorandum of Understanding, media reports have it that the MOU has vested the leadership of the APC of the state on the five defecting ‘new PDP’ governors.

“Mr. Chairman, as a consequence of these powers alleged to have been vested on the governor of Kano, most members and supporters of our great party in the state are voicing their worry and vehement opposition.

“They are saying that APC national executive had been so fixated in its desire to have in its fold the five defecting governors of the ‘new PDP’ that it ignored the peculiarities of Kano State and preeminence of other founding leaders of the APC, influential party members and their supporters”.

The Interim State Executives of the All Progressive Congress(APC) in
Imo State has disowned Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, saying
he is not yet a registered member of the party.

In a communiqué issued after an emergency meeting of the Interim
Executive and the party’s stakeholders from all the senatorial zones
of the state and made available to Crimefacts.org; the Imo APC explained that under the provisions of the Electoral Act on merger of political parties, only the members of the merged parties (ACN,CPC, and ANPP) are the legal and automatic members of APC for now.

According to the document, “No fresh registration has taken place in the APC, or could legally have taken place in the APC Imo state, or elsewhere in the country since 31st August, 2013”.

The communiqué described Okorocha and his followers as mere
‘concessional members’ who must await regularization by formally
registering with the party at their respective wards in the state.

Signed by Mazi Nati Iwuagwu and Chief Ahamefule Ibekwe, Chairman and
secretary respectively of the interim executive of the APC in Imo
State, the communique also condemned the alleged plot by Governor
Rochas Okorocha to hijack the party by setting up a parallel interim executives at all levels.

“Consequently, we no longer accept the assertion of the existence of
any APC sitting governor in Imo state until he becomes a duly
registered member of APC”, the document read in part.

The interim APC leadership in Imo however warned that it may seek
appropriate judicial redress if the over-bearing activities of the
‘concessional members’ are not put in check by the party’s national
headquarters.

The document further stated: “We have firmly resolved to protect our right of membership of APC lawfully acquired under section 84(4) and (5) of the Electoral act 2010 by every lawful means including judicial option, if the issue of defining the authentic membership of the party in Imo State is not addressed within reasonable time by the National interim executive”.

The current impasse in the Imo APC is believed to stem from the recent reconstitution of Okorocha’s new executive council which reflect the fact that the governor did not accommodate nominations from the APC as he had agreed with the leadership of the party in the state.
