Nasarawa APC Cautions Members Calling for Party Chairman’s Resignation
Igbawase Ukumba in Lafia
The Nasarawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday cautioned its members calling for the resignation of the state Chairman of the party, Hon. Aliyu Bella.
The state Secretary of the party, Mr. Yairus Dagusa, gave the caution when addressing journalists shortly after the State Executive Council meeting of the party in Lafia.
He said: “It is therefore sheer mischief for anyone to demand that Hon. Aliyu Bello should resign as the state chairman of the party, ignorantly claiming that he was not democratically elected.
“It is necessary to state that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party has duly affirmed and approved the position of Hon. Aliyu Bello as Nasarawa State Chairman of the APC.”
Dagusa, therefore, maintained that from the indisputable explanation he has given, it was clear that Bello’s occupation of the party’s chairmanship seat is legal.
“The approval of his nomination and election by SEC is but a fulfilment of the provision of our party’s constitution,” he insisted.
This was even as the Nasarawa APC’s scribe urged members of the party to exercise restraint, aa at the appointed time, all party members shall be allowed to exercise their democratic rights to contest elections into offices of their choice.
“The desire of the party is to always provide level playing field to members to actualize their ambitions,” Dagusa stated.
