Fresh Trouble For Tinubu As Top Northern Politician Dumps APC Presidential Campaign Council

A former Niger State Deputy Governor, Musa Ibeto has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Ibeto who is a member of the APC Presidential Campaign Committee and the Assistant Secretary of the Northcentral Directorate of Mobilisation also dumped the council.

He announced his resignation on Tuesday via a letter addressed to the Chairman of APC in Ibelu Central Ward in Magama.

The former Nigerian Ambassador to South Africa cited internal conflicts, unending litigations, and lack of commitment from members as some of the reasons for his resignation.

The letter reads: “I write you with all sense of humility, respect, and regards as the Chairman of APC, Ibelu Central Ward to convey to you the resignation of my membership of the All Progressive Congress from today 3rd January 2023.

“Mr. Chairman, with my many years of active participation in politics and as a former party administrator, and an elected official in many political offices, I have come to this conclusion for many reasons, chiefly among which are the absence of unity of purpose among party members and stakeholders occasioned by internal conflicts, unending litigations, internal threats and counter threats of anti-party activities, lack of genuine reconciliation coupled with lack of commitment and dedication to the success of the party by many stakeholders.

“For these obvious reasons, I concluded that I cannot continue to be a member of the party.”

Naija News understands Ibeto was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before defecting to the APC after losing the bid to clinch the 2019 governorship ticket of the party.
