An All Progressives Congress affiliate group in Bauchi State under the aegis of ‘APC Club’ has appealed to party members to shun divisive tendencies capable of affecting electoral victory of the party in 2023.

Alhaji Shaifudeen Ibrahim, Chairman of the group, made the appeal during the club’s annual summit in Bauchi on Friday.

INFO DAILY reports that the theme of the summit was “Importance of Unity for Electoral Victory in the Post Buhari Era”.

Ibrahim emphasized that divisiveness may mar the electoral chances of the party, hence, the imperative cohesion and unity in the ruling party.

“Unity remains a vital ingredient that would lead to victory for the party in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.

“The ties of unity need to be strengthened and consolidated for the success of our party” he said.

According to him, stakeholding, commitments and dedication among the party loyalists would strengthen unity and ensure that the party delivered its campaign promises based on its manifesto.

The chairman added that the party had in the last six years performed excellently well, especially on building of infrastructure, agriculture and the fight against corruption and terrorism.

“I am of the view and strong conviction that the party interest supersedes that of any individual and it will overcome its current challenges.

“We should therefore, respect party supremacy and interest so that we can retain power and maintain a united front,” Ibrahim said.

Also Speaking, Alhaji Bashir Riminzayam, a party stalwart, urged the youth to always refer to history for acquiring political knowledge and background.

His words “those who fail to read history are bound to suffer the repetition of their mistakes. We lost the seat of governor to the opposition due to intra party wranglings” he observed.

Riminzayam further stated that experience calls for sober reflection and a solid united front to be able to fight the future electoral battles to deliver the party to victory.

On his part, Mr Habu Mamman, a party chieftain noted that the importance of unity cannot be overemphasized, hence, the need for the party to restrategize ahead by burying the hatchets.

“I pray and hope that we will have lasting peace, unity and stability in the party to capture the governorship position in Bauchi by 2023,” he prayed.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has accused the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, of being a constant agent of provocation in the political space, alleging that he creates trouble to mask selfish intentions.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, stated this in a statement issued on Monday in response to Wike’s media parley with selected journalists in Port Harcourt, also held on Monday.

According to the PDP, remarks made by the minister on several occasions are proof that he falls short of being a locus classicus of anti-democratic adventurism.

The party said Wike’s conduct was not new, stressing that he has consistently acted as an agent provocateur in the political arena, stirring controversy to advance personal interests.

The PDP further stated that since Wike assumed office as Governor of Rivers State in 2015, he has remained a recurrent source of trouble within the party’s leadership.

“From the Sheriff era, where he was a forerunner in the Sheriff-for-National Chairman movement and later turned to fight and remove Sheriff; later he championed the Uche Secondus-for-National Chairman movement (in fact, he granted a very combustible interview that polarized the party just before the convention) and then was the same person fighting to remove Secondus.

“The same Wike led the movement to produce Dr. Iyorchia Ayu as National Chairman against the advice of many party leaders, and so soon thereafter, it was Wike again who led the Ayu-must-go struggle.

“By his end-of-year media chat, Minister Nyesom Wike has reiterated his support for, and in fact declared that he is the ‘number one supporter’ of the presumptive candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the 2027 Presidential election, while remaining a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, confirming the basis of his expulsion from the PDP, for anti-party activities,” the statement said.

The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the 2026 Ekiti governorship election, Dr Wole Oluyede, and his deputy were conspicuously absent as the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, released the provisional list of party candidates ahead of the election.

INEC on Monday posted the list of candidates from 12 political parties vying for the state’s top job at its office on New Iyin Road, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State.

The list shows that the All Progressives Congress, APC, is fielding the incumbent governor, Biodun Oyebanji, with Monisade Afuye as his running mate.

Other candidates include Opeyemi Falegan of the Accord Party, with Omoyemi Olaleye as deputy; Akande Oluwasegun of the African Action Congress, paired with Oluwasanmi Fajuyigbe; and Ayodeji Ojo of the Action Democratic Party, with Itunu Ibitoye as running mate.

Similarly, the African Democratic Congress is presenting Oluwadare Bejide and Paul Olowoyeye, while the Action Peoples Party has Bidemi Awogbemi and Akinyemi Adewumi on its ticket.

The PDP’s absence may not be unconnected with the leadership crisis currently rocking the party at the national level.
