- Bichi agog as President Buhari’s son, Yusuf, marries Emir’s daughter
- Ganduje condoles with Kano, Bichi Emirs over mother’s death
Ibrahim Dan K.B, the Senator Barau supporter, is the Chairman of All Progressive Congress (APC) Bichi local government in the just concluded parallel party congress.
“My reason for dropping the appointment even before we come to that is, my allowances as the Chairman Community Promotion Council (CPC) is not being paid, which during my stay as the head of ‘The Home-Grown School Feeding Programme Partnership’ recorded successes in the Bichi Emirate that comprises of 9 Local Governments”, Dan K.B Bichi said.
This decision is coming amidst Senator Ibrahim Shekarau’s factional group held their State Congress with Ahmad Zago emerging as Chairman of the All Progressive Congress APC in the state.
The group consisted of Senator Barau Jibrin, Hon. Sha’aban Sharada and others as members.
The parallel congress was held at Janguza Town after Security operatives denied the party faithful access to Sani Abacha Youth Centre.
APC National Headquarters reacts to state crisis and parallel congress
The All Progressives Congress (APC), in a statement on Sunday in Abuja, congratulated its members on their successful State Congresses across the country.
Sen. John Akpanudoedehe, National Secretary, APC Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), however, said that only exercises conducted by duly inaugurated State Congress Committees would be recognised by the party.
“We had to focus on internal democracy and the charge by the leader of the party, President Muhammadu Buhari, that the party be returned to the people.
“Card-carrying party members came out enmasse to elect executives who will take charge of APC affairs across the states for the next four years.
“However, our attention has been drawn to reports of so-called and purported parallel Congresses. The purported parallel Congresses are futile activities.
“It is very strange to the party. Our Constitution and the guidelines for the conduct of the State and other Congresses provide that only exercises conducted by duly-inaugurated State Congress Committees are recognised by the party,” he said.
He added that the APC leadership would not hesitate to take adequate and lawful measures against any person or interest sabotaging the party’s collective interest and efforts to achieve peace and unity within its fold.
He said where conflicts exist, adequate conflict resolution measures had been put in place to address such through the party’s Appeal Committees.
He reminded the party’s members that the National Reconciliation Committee was inaugurated under the chairmanship of Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, former Governor of Nasarawa state.
The APC scribe said the committee was mandated to reconcile all differences that may come up after the Congresses.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the APC State Congresses which held on Saturday, Oct. 16, was to elect officials at the state level, ahead of its national convention expected to hold before the end of 2021. (NAN)
