APC Senator Resigns From The Party Because Of “Injustice”

Senator representing Niger south, Sani Mustapha Mohammed has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in a protest.

Mohammed is said to be reacting to the unfavorable decision by the ruling party to drop his name from the list of candidates cleared for the 2019 general election.

Last Saturday, Senator Shehu Sani, representing Kaduna central, also resigned from the party after his name was removed from the final list.

Mohammed explained his decision to leave the party “because of injustice”.

He however failed to reveal the party he is planning to join, despite speculations that he would join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

All the three Niger senators ; namely Mohammed, David Umar and senate spokesman, Aliyu Abdullahi;had been cleared in the list dated October 4, 2018 and signed by Adams Oshiomhole, the party’s national chairman.

However, Mohammed was replaced with Muhammad Bima Enagi while the two others were cleared.

The results of the primaries caused controversies.

APC’s primaries were dogged by controversies nationwide, with 15 governors now said to be moving for the removal of Oshiomhole as chairman.
