BY ADEYEMI AKANJI, BAUCHI – As Controversy over the conduct of the state congress of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), continue unabated in all the 36 states of the federation, stakeholders of the party from the Bauchi Central Senatorial Zone have said that the National Reconciliation Committee did not visit the state to mediate over the crisis tearing the party apart in the state.
The APC National Reconciliation Committee headed by Senator Abdullahi Adamu was set up to look into complaints by members of the party after the October 17, 2021 congress of the party.
Chairman of Bauchi Central APC stakeholders, Hon Adamu Noma told journalists at a press conference at the NUJ secretariat that the stakeholders wrote to the reconciliation committee about the lingering leadership crisis that engulfed the party in the state after two parallel Chairmen of the party in the state emerged through variegated congresses.
He said that the two chairmen thatemerged through the variegated congresses were Hon Sunusi Aliyu Kunde and Hon Babayo Aliyu.
A Bauchi State High Court had on December 8, 2021, issued an order of interim injunction halting Hon Babayo Aliyu from parading himself as the State Chairman of the APC.
The stakeholders therefore warned the National Secretariat of the APC not to swear in the Babayo Misau-led executive committee, stressing that it is not a recognized body taking into cognizance of the ongoing court action.
Noma appealed to members of the party to remain calm and law abiding as they are pursuing the matter with the hope of seeing it to a logical conclusion.
