The leadership of the All Progressives Congress National Integrity Movement (ANIM) has said that it is not bothered by the sudden resignation of its former National leader, Mr. Sadiq Saadu Fakai, saying it will not in any way affect the operations of the group.
In a statement jointly signed by the National Deputy Leader (North), Hon. Aminu Yakubu and his southern counterpart, Dr. Yetunde Adeniji the group said it has wholeheartedly accepted the resignation because it was within his right to freely belong or to pull out.
ANIM said it remains solid and active as it works for the actualization of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
“While we acknowledge his constitutional right to freedom of association and political affiliation, it is important to clearly state that his resignation, though regrettable, does not in any way affect the structure, integrity, or commitment of the APC National Integrity Movement to the ideals of our great party, the All Progressives Congress.
“The Movement remains solid, active, and fully aligned with the Renewed Hope Agenda of the APC-led Federal Government under the dynamic leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Vice President Kashim Shettima.
“Let it be known that the leadership of the APC National Integrity Movement remains intact and functional, with the Deputy National Leader (South) Dr. Yetunde Adeniji and Deputy National Leader (North) Hon. Aminu Yakubu providing effective guidance and stability, while consultations are ongoing to fill the leadership vacuum in line with our constitutional provisions.
“We urge all our teeming members across the 36 states of the Federation, the FCT, and in the diaspora, to remain calm, resolute, and supportive of the ongoing internal processes aimed at strengthening the Movement for greater service to the party and nation”.
The statement further reassured that APC National Integrity Movement has not been dissolved; adding that its name, structure, and operational essence remain unchanged.
“Our loyalty to the APC, its leadership, and the vision of a prosperous and united Nigeria remains unwavering. We move forward with renewed strength and clarity of purpose”, the statement concluded.
