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.

Why We’re Impeaching Fubara — Rivers Assembly

The Rivers State House of Assembly has given reasons for the ongoing impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

The Majority Leader of the Assembly, Major Jack, said the decision to impeach the governor and his deputy was based on their alleged persistent violation of the peace agreement brokered by President Bola Tinubu.

Jack made the allegation during plenary on Thursday while presenting the report detailing acts of misconduct against the governor.

According to him, Governor Fubara and his deputy had repeatedly disregarded the resolutions reached during reconciliation efforts aimed at restoring stability in the state.

He accused the two leaders of running the affairs of government without commitment to transparency and good governance.

“The governor and his deputy have continued to act in a manner that undermines democratic principles and accountability,” Jack said.

He further alleged that the peace deals facilitated by President Tinubu were breached on several occasions, including agreements reached during reconciliation meetings held in December 2023 and another in 2025.

Jack insisted that the continued failure of the governor and his deputy to honour the terms of the peace accord necessitated the impeachment process currently before the Assembly.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, Rivers State chapter, has vehemently rejected the move by the State House of Assembly to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy.

The Assembly had earlier on Thursday commenced an impeachment process against Fubara over alleged misconduct.

The impeachment notice is expected to be issued to the governor and his deputy in the next seven days.

Reacting, the Rivers APC, in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Darlington Nwauju, rejected the move.

“Our position as at today on this matter is that we solemnly reject the resort to an impeachment process against our governor and his deputy.

“It will be totally untenable for our party to keep quiet when an obvious hangover from strifes that occurred within the PDP are allowed to resurface in our great party,” Darlington said.

He added that the ruling party “will do everything possible to ensure that the Government of Rivers State, which is an APC government, is not destabilized”

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, says God will not allow “bad people” prevail in Rivers State.

Wike made the statement on Thursday during his ‘thank-you-visit’ to the Bonny Island area of Rivers State.

“I appreciate you because you have shown me love and shown that you are people that can be trusted.

“I have told people that I don’t believe in generalizing, if for example somebody in Bonny disappoints you, you said Bonny people are bad, that’s very wrong.

“There are different kinds of people.There are places you have armed robbers, you have good people who stay there. So you can’t say because someone is bad so everyone there is bad. That’s not it.

“The good people are more in number than the few people who want to rub us black, but God, in His infinite mercy, will not allow evil to prevail over light,” he said.

Wike’s statement is coming after the Rivers State House of Assembly began impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
