THE All Progressive Congress (APC) is now a safe heaven for those facing corruption trial, its breakaway faction, the Reformed APC (R-APC) has said.

The National Chairman of the splinter group, Buba Galadima, made the allegation on Friday while speaking at a meeting of R-APC women groups in Abuja.

Mr Galadima expressed hope that the judiciary would help resolve issues involving its grievances.

“All we are seeking for is fair play, transparency, justice, level playground and that everything that was done to bring the so-called National Working Committee to office is being challenged in the court and God willing, we will get justice in court,” he said.

“We were voted into office because we promised that we will do better than our predecessors but instead doing better than our predecessors we are worse than them. We did not bargain that all criminal elements and people of questionable character will be migrating into our party to the extent that APC has now turned itself into a safe heaven for those facing corruption charges,” he added.



He said for a month plus, the APC, had suffered internal wrangling, caused by disaffection on the part of some members who were excluded from the affairs of party and its administration.

On whether the splinter enjoys broad support from APC members, Galadima said rAPC was more than just a group.



“We’ve 75% representation across the country.

“We’re not making efforts to register with INEC. Moreover the APC we’re trying to reform is our vehicle. We don’t need INEC. We need the court to pronounce.

Asked whether, the faction is considering picking a presidential candidate for 2019, Galadima said: “Why not if the court says we’re the authentic leadership”.

The National Woman Leader of the rAPC, Asha Kaita in her remarks accused the federal government of trying frustrate voters especially women who usually constitute majority of voting population from getting registered and obtaining their permanent voters cards.
