Leadership of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, in Cross River has said President Muhammadu Buhari
should blame himself if the party loses subsequent elections in the state.
The party said the recent
appointments of indigenes of the state into federal government boards and
agencies has threatened to destroy the foundation by which the party was
established.
Chairman of the Candidates Forum
of the APC ahead of the Local Government Elections in the state, Elder James
Anam, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues and majority of the membership of
the party, accused the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Usani Usani, of
submitting one sided list to the presidency.
In a statement released in
Calabar and made available to newsmen, Anam pointed out that the issue has the
potential of robbing the party of victory in coming elections.
He said, “The Presidency would
take the blame for the party’s abysmal performance in future polls except it
reviews the situation by ensuring that only submissions that emerge from wider
consultations are placed in public space.
He wondered, “Why the presidency
would renege on the report of the presidential committee on board appointments
whose input from Cross River considered varied interests,” and charged Abuja to
“corrects the anomaly quickly.”
His words; “I’m sure the
presidency was not thorough in picking names for the appointments, if it
assigned the Honorable Minister of Niger Delta Affairs the responsibility of
preparing a new list from what the committee did, it should have resorted to
thorough scrutiny of the said list to ensure very importantly, that the issue
of lopsidedness was left out.”
