AMAC 2022: APC FLAGBEARER HON. MURTALA USMAN KARSHI CALLS FOR UNITY AHEAD OF POLLS
By Godson I.

As political parties engage strategic approaches ahead of the forthcoming FCT Area Council Elections, the Flagbearer of All Progressive Congress, Hon. Alh. Murtala Usman Karshi, a dogged politician and grassroot Mobilizer has called on party members to be united, therefore stressing the need for a consensus agenda ahead of the February 12th 2022 Area Council poll.

He made the statement during a media chat with our Correspondent few hours ago while reacting to the scanty rally organised by his opponent, Alhassan Gwagwa who has refused to accept the decision of party members in the primary elections and cooperate with the elected flagbearer of the party.

Hon. Murtala Usman Karshi therefore used the medium to inform all Members of the party, especially those in the camp of his opponents that the victory of the party at poll is more important, and of more priority than the selfish interest of any individual or faction in the party. He noted that disunity always compromise victory and the need to unite every faction of the party ahead of the forthcoming FCT Area Council Elections is sine qua non to the Party's victory.

However, INEC had confirmed and only recognises Hon. Murtala Usman Karshi as the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress for AMAC Chairmanship tussle. Although it was challenged by Hon. Sulaiman Alhassan Gwagwa at the FCT High Court, which was dismissed without hearing by Justice Babangida Hassan, stating that the Plaintiffs allegations lacked merit. Not satisfied with the verdict of FCT high court, Alhassan and his cohorts pushed for an appeal which was reversed, as the judge stated clearly that no Winner no vanquish stressing that it was a party affairs that must be reconciled within the party.

This appeal court judgement however informed Alhassan and supporters to a recently conducted scanty rally which made naked his inability and lack of capacity to deliver the party in the forthcoming polls. One could clearly observe that Alhassan's influence and capacity in the party and across the FCT Area Council is incomparable to Hon. Murtala Usman Karshi, whose rally recorded massive supporters of Members of the All Progressive Congress, who are confident in his capacity, leadership ideologies and prospective agenda for the FCT Area council when elected.
