AMAC Elections: Supporters Yearn Intervention of National Chairman HE Mai Buni in APC AMAC Chairman Candidacy, Challenges State Party Leadership
Godson I.

Few hours ago, supporters of the duely elected APC Candidate, recognised by INEC for the forthcoming AMAC Chairmanship elections in February 12th 2022, Hon. Murtala Usman Karshi have called on the intervention of the National Caretaker Chairman of the ruling All Progressive Congress, HE Gov. Mai Mala Buni. The Supporters yearned for justice, fairness and objective leadership, stressing that the state party leadership, under Abdulmalik Usman may have failed in that regard. They made the statement while calling on Gov. Mai Mala Buni to caution the state party leadership on her bias alliance with Alhassan Gwagwa who is falsefully parading himself as flag bearer of the party, even when the case has been filed to the supreme court.

The Support group noted that the State Chairman of the Party, other committees and forums under the state leadership of the party have continue to meet, as they falsefully and illegally parade Alhassan Gwagwa as Candidate, thereby trying to bury the truth and compromise justice, especially with the recent controversial statement of judgement by the court of appeal which was signed by Justice Danlami Zama Senchi, contradicting the audio judgement and also falsefully stated that the FCT Area Council Elections will be held on January 2023, against INEC directive of February 12th 2022.

All of these have continue to create confusion, which is currently generating crisis within the party, especially as the recognised INEC flagbearer Hon. Murtala U. Karshi concludes plan to launch its campaign. According to the statement by the Coalition of Supporters for Hon. Murtala Usman, it stressed that their misguided activities have created confusion and disunity in the party. They however called on party Members and residents of AMAC to vote Hon. Murtala Usman Karshi as AMAC Chairman in the forthcoming area council elections.

The Coalition of Supporters have also challenged the verdict by the Justice of the Court of Appeal stating that it is illegal to have an audio judgement that differs from the released statement of judgement of the same case. They also informed the court that the Area Council Elections will not be conducted on the 23rd of January 2023 as the court claimed, but will be conducted on the 12th of February 2022 according to INEC directive.

Hon. Murtala Usman Karshi had won the primary elections conducted in April 2021 with 113Votes ahead of Alhassan Suleiman Gwagwa who was behind with 110Votes. Murtala has also remained a partisan loyalist and a dedicated member of All Progressive Congress(APC). His antecedents has made him the choice of AMAC residents regardless of any misleading and baseless campaigns to impose a candidate and leader on the party and people respectively.

Although, Alhassan Gwagwa filed a case to the FCT High court claiming a redress on the election outcome, but met a milestone when the FCT high court dismissed the case on the grounds that it lacked merit, which again upheld the victory of Hon. Murtala Karshi as the only APC Candidate which is recognised by INEC for AMAC Chairmanship election. But with the recent verdict of the Court of Appeal, one could easily notice the ongoing problems in the party, as they remain divided ahead of the polls and instead of focusing on a unified strategic approach that will deliver the party to victory, they have continue to wallow in the ongoing intra-party crisis created by the state party leaderhip.

Speaking with a leader of the Coalition, he says, "the State Chairman of the party and other state party forums alongside Alhasssan Gwagwa met immediately after the Court of Appeal Judgement and have since then continue to make several efforts to distabilise the party, by refusing to accept defeat and instead short-change the chances of victory for the party in the forthcoming Area Council elections. However, one thing must be known, the victory of our party at the poll is not negotiable and anyone who is against that is however against the success and growth of our party, which is unacceptable."

Alhassan Gwagwa and court of appeal statement contrary to audio statement.
This is an illegal offence commited by a legal authority.
Even the date reads January 23rd for the elections when INEC's date is Feb. 12th 2022. Are we sure this judgement is authentic.. or it is an ignorant errrr, because ignorance isn't an excuse under the law

Justice Danlami of COA, others, will you escape this
