Gov Namadi Admits Crisis in Jigawa APC

By: Ahmed Aminu, Dutse

Jigawa state governor Malam Umar Namadi has admitted that there is an internal crisis in the state’s branch of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).

The governor made the confession while speaking to newsmen at his residence shortly after his return from a three week vacation abroad.

“When I was away, I heard something bad happened. Frankly Jigawa people are not known of that character. My appeal to people is to be patient with ourselves.

“It is very obvious whenever we live together there is tendency for misunderstanding, but it is an internal misunderstanding. So an internal misunderstanding should be resolved within, without going out talking somehow and anyhow,” he added.

According to him, APC is one in Jigawa state.

“We all belong to it, it is our only political party. My appeal to all is to be patient. Also, we as leaders, whatever we were informed or approached with on any information, issue or matter, we are supposed to thoroughlly investigate it before taking any action.”

Namadi, therefore appealed to all leaders of the party and its followers to be united, patient and live in peace with one another.

“We will continue be loyal to leaders to ensure we protect their dignity, image and rights, God willing,” he said in reference to the purported rift between his camp and that of the immediate past governor of the state, Alhaji Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, now minister of defence.

The Syndicate reports that the two camps have accused each other of sabotage and anti party activities.

The situation was heightened when Badaru led a mammoth crowd to Hadejia, the governor’s home ground, in a veiled show of force, which angered Namadi’s supporters, who viewed it as a deliberate political move to denigrade the governor.

This was followed by a statement issued by ‘Concerned APC Members’, who called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to dismiss the minister for anti party activities and alleged connivance with the opposition to unseat APC in 2027.
