Sani Mustapha Mohammed, the
senator representing Niger south, has resigned from the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in protest.
Mohammed is said to be angered by
the decision of the ruling party to drop his name from the list of candidates
cleared for the 2019 general election.
Shehu Sani, the senator
representing Kaduna central, also resigned from the party in protest on
Saturday over the removal of his name from the final list.
Confirming his decision to leave
the party, Mohammed said that he was leaving APC “because of
injustice”.
He did not reveal the party he
would be moving to, despite speculations that he would join the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
All the three Niger senators —
namely Mohammed, David Umar and senate spokesman, Aliyu Abdullahi — had been
cleared in the list dated October 4, 2018 and signed by Adams Oshiomhole, the
party’s national chairman.
However, Mohammed was replaced
with Muhammad Bima Enagi while the two others were cleared.
The primary elections ended in
controversy.
APC’s primaries were dogged by
controversies nationwide, with 15 governors now said to be moving for the
removal of Oshiomhole as chairman.
