A presidential aspirant on the
platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adamu Garba, has criticized
the party’s leadership for moving the National Convention from May 14.
Garba stated that his supporters
were looking forward to a credible poll and cited “tokenism and internal
jostling and politicking” as the reason the convention was postponed.
He, however, insisted that the
ruling party needed a young, brilliant and credible hands in the coming
elections.
“I received, with amusement, the
sudden proposed postponement of the national convention of the APC, initially
scheduled for the 14th of May in the coming month.
“The Nigerian people and
particularly my supporters across the 36 states were looking forward to a
credible and transparent process to elect the national leaders of our party.
“However, tokenism and internal
jostling and politicking seem to be trumping some of our strongly held
progressive and democratic values as a party. It is important that our party
prioritizes the interest of the country over political bickering.
“Hence, the APC must demonstrate
to the entire country that it believes in internal democracy and will be guided
by the constitution of the party, outside of which might lead to the complete
erosion of our party’s credibility before the Nigerian people.
“I am however leading a group of
young, brilliant and capable individuals within the party, from which we will
be presenting a credible alternative to run for the office of the party
chairman.
“The APC without a doubt requires
a new brand of leadership; one that will chart a new vision for the party, and
more pertinently the Nigerian people and we are ready to produce that
leadership from amongst us,” he said.
