By Terna Chikpa, Jalingo
A Coalition of All Progressives Congress Support Groups in Taraba state on Monday dissociated from the recent gubernatorial primary election of the party that produced Sen Emmanuel Bwacha as candidate of APC in the state.
Mr Ibrahim Sani, Leader of the coalition made the declaration while briefing journalists in Jalingo, he alleged that the purported primary was in violation of the supreme court judgement which nullified the earlier ruling of the appeal court Yola division and validated the ruling of the Federal High Court which earlier directed the party to conduct a fresh primary within 14 days.
The Coalition also decried the deployment of military to conduct the primary which they described as a Kangaroo, alleged that the intention was to intimidating the law abiding party members.
“Another case in connection to the gubernatorial primary of the party is still pending at the Supreme Court. I wonder why some people chose to participate in such illegal exercise even in the face of boycott by five aggrieved aspirants.
“The deployment of military to conduct the Kangaroo primary, was to intimidating the law abiding party members and the aggrieved aspirants had earlier held a press conference as they declared their intention to boycott the purported primary election.
“We wish to appeal to the National Chairman of APC as well Sen Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima to suspend any Presidential campaign Rally to the state pending the resolution of the crisis. We also wish to appeal to the National leadership of the party to wade into the crisis and resolve it for the interest of the party,” The Coalition called.
They however, threatened to seek court redress if the party fail to address the lingering crisis.
