For the first time, you will hear and see people challenging the governor openly that he influenced the results of the primaries. You will see the governor going to gathering and people shouting at him. He has buried APC in Kaduna State and they are just waiting for election day to perform the funeral," he said.A group of aggrieved aspirants who participated in the just-concluded All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries in Kaduna State, have vowed to work against the party in the 2019 general election.

A source close to the aspirants revealed that the showdown is inevitable and cuts across local, state and federal governments, noting that some of those who won the election but had their names substituted with preferred candidates of Governor Nasir el-Rufai, decided to remain with the party to enable them take their own 'pound of flesh'.

He cited how a candidate for Kawo North Constituency of State House of Assembly, Yusuf Salisu, who polled 99 votes ahead of his rival who came second with 44 votes, was replaced with one Ali Shakkis during the primaries. He also cited the case of one Abubakar Mamadi in Igabi Local Government, who got two votes while his opponent, Zayyad Ibrahim, polled 182 votes. However, Mamadi was declared winner of the election.

He said many party supporters have lost confidence in the party as a result of the "fraudulent way the primaries were conducted", stating that "80 per cent of those that were declared winners were influenced by the governor".

Five councillors in Kaduna South dumped the party and picked tickets under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), while another settled for the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

According to findings, the party may lose its grip in Zone 1 Zaria (Kaduna North) judging by the strength of the heavyweight opposition in the area. For example, the former PDP Caretaker Committee Chairman, Ahmed Makarfi, is from the zone; the PDP governorship candidate, Isa Ashiru is from the area and former Deputy Governor Ramallan Yero is also a political figure to reckon with in the senatorial district.

Also, the alleged non-performance of the governor in the past three years may deal a heavy blow to the chances of the APC in the 2019 elections, as he is also accused of appointing inexperienced people, who are mainly his family, friends and close business associates.

The sacking of close to 5,000 traditional title holders on the premise that the government cannot pay them may also determine how far the governor will go in achieving his political ambition come 2019.

"For the first time, you will hear and see people challenging the governor openly that he influenced the results of the primaries. You will see the governor going to gathering and people shouting at him. He has buried APC in Kaduna State and they are just waiting for election day to perform the funeral," he said.

He condemned the undue influence and control by the governor on the party structure in the state, and accused the state chairman of the party, Emmanuel Jekada, of bias for accompanying one of the senatorial aspirants for the Kaduna Central Senatorial Zone, Uba Sani, to Abuja to pick the party’s nomination form.

The source said: "His raising the hands of his political appointee Uba Sani, who is an aspirant is undemocratic and against the party’s Constitution, which states that aspirants should be treated equally."

Investigation revealed that Uba Sani, who is also the political adviser to the governor, allegedly substituted delegates in seven Local Government Areas, which make up Kaduna Central Zone with his loyalists and domestic aides to enable him use them to his advantage at the party primaries.

May the camp of your enemies be like the camp of the APC.

God thank you for using these fools to destroy their terrorist party.

Nawaooo. This is how APC have been running Nigeria without honesty. Everything about APC is irregular.

Divisions abound in APC.

Front page

The same mistake PDP made in 2015 is the same mistake APC is making now.

I think that they are confidently making the mistake because they think they can afford it (Buhari is on the ballot, so no problem).

Well, with the Middle Belt out of their hands, every vote is going to count. APC better sort its house out. If they want to win.

in PDP you do not necessarily need a godfather to emerge as a candidate but in that cult group APC you must have father Abraham backing you.

Money matter

Great news from the midget bigots state.

Na so dem remove Hon Danladi zhin from the ticket after winning the primary.

Pekele007:
Thank you Oshiomole for doing a wonderful job. We will reward you next year.


The mission is to weaken Buhari's million votes and turn it to thousands. So far so good, we are getting there.

I swear bro! Oshiomole is doing the Lord's work.

Anything to fastrack the implosion of the overconfident APC is welcome. Anything to fastrack regionalisation or complete disintegration of this entity called Nigeria is also welcome.

I am not IPOB But this country is working for nobody.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidency has murdered democracy; adopted rule of the thumb, aborted her own electoral promises, dramatizes unremitting failure, as much as introduced primitive nepotism and archaic bigotry.

Shockingly, how President Buhari and his minders railroaded themselves into that unforgivable tragic outing remains a study for political scientists — after the near revolutionary momentum that ushered to power in 2015.

President Buhari and the APC are the regrettable examples of how not to lead or mislead multiethnic nation as Nigeria.

This Is The Last Sh!T A P C Needs Now.But So Ok By Me.

What do u expect from party of nepotism. Nigeria has never gotten this low and I wonder if we are even in democratic settings. Some of these governors are nothing but just devil tools. They so much exhibit power at the expense of even the lifeless president. May God help us, 2019 looks gloomy.

Omeokachie:
May the camp of your enemies be like the camp of the APC.

Ameen
