Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Minds Alike Group in Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State, have resigned their membership of the party, hinging their decision over lack of internal democracy of the party in the area.
At a press conference in Kafanchan, on Wednesday, the group condemned the Muslim-Muslim ticket by the APC’s Kaduna State Governorship and Presidential candidates.
They expressed dismay over the insensitivity exhibited to the diversity of the people, which they noted, would further polarize the country along religious lines.
The APC Likeminds Alike Network also condemned the impunity with which the party is being run in Jema’a Local Government Area, and added that assignments were issued to party members based on the cliques they belong to.
The group expressed disappointment how Jema’a Local Government Area, after spending over seven months in office does not have any meaningful project to show, despite a developmental agenda and blueprint which they helped to prepare.
They alleged that after the party’s primary elections, aggrieved members were said to be brought together for reconciliation, but regretted that instead, the APC stakeholders met in Kaduna to issue threats and warnings to those who lost in the primaries.
In view of the complaints they highlighted, the members of the APC Minds Alike Network resigned their membership of the All Progressives Congress, and said their next political destination would be made known after due consultations.
Some members of the group who resigned their membership of the APC include the Party’s Legal Officer, Ibrahim Samuel; Financial Secretary, Barnabas Samuel; Auditor, Simon Yakubu, and a former.3-term Councillor of Atuku Ward, Habila Latu.
Others are a former Director of Planning and Strategy during the last Local Government elections, Peter Joshua; a former Councillor and Treasurer of Jagindi Ward, Shua’ibu Yusuf, and Nehemiah Cameo Bitrus among others.
