From Yakubu Mustapha, Minna
A chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC), Adamu Ahmed Erana, has urged the party faithful to avoid acts capable of tarnishing the image of the APC in Niger state.
The APC chieftain from Shiroro Local Government Area gave the advice at the weekend in Minna, the state capital, while reacting to activities of the party, especially ahead of the party’s forthcoming primaries that is around the corner.
Erena described as shameful and very unfortunate the recent actions of some members of the party in the area who selected a candidate on consensus to contest for Rafi, Shiroro, Munya federal constituency as unacceptable.
He warned that only credible primaries conducted by the leadership of the party would be recognized for the eligibility of candidates to contest for any elective office in the area, saying that anything contrary will be resisted forthwith.
According to him, “What the APC needs now is unity of purpose and credible individual that would ensure the success of the party and of President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Abubakar Sani Bello in next year’s general election”.
Erana who is also an aspirant for the House of Representative seat, further advised the public to disregard the so called ‘consensus posturing’ and await the party’s guidelines on the conduct of the primaries.
He urged his supporters to remain calm, be law abiding and have faith in the party, saying he was sure it will not contravene the guiding principles of the party in any way by allowing the peoples choice to prevail.
