The Conference of Civil Societies for Transparency and Accountability has described the purported expulsion of a frontline governorship aspirant under the
National Convener of the groups Haruna Abdulsalam, who stated this in a news conference on Sunday in Abuja, said the action was the handiwork of APC detractors, who were bent on destroying the party for their selfish gains.
It will be recalled that the APC in Taraba has been enmeshed in deep crisis following the Guber primary that saw Sen. Emmanuel Bwacha emerge as the flag bearer of the party for the 2023 Gubernatorial Election, which it lost. The group noted that expelling a man who had worked tirelessly to ensure the success of the party in the state on grounds of anti-party activities and no less by someone who emerged from the shadows without any legal standing, could best be described as a rape of democracy and the height of illegality.
He said the State Working Committee exercised its powers under Article 13.9 iv of the party’s constitution to ratify the decision of the APC Wukari Local Government Area. The APC Chairman, Kente Ward, Uten Efu, whose position was also corroborated by his counterpart from Fete Ward, Siman Yamusa, said there were no specific, stated offences of anti-party activities against the governorship aspirant and senator-elect.
