Bauchi APC Vice Chairman resigns

Malam Musa Adamu, the Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi State, has resigned. Adamu, who is the zonal vice chairman of APC for Bauchi South Senatorial District, announced his resignation at a news briefing on Friday in Bauchi.

He said the resignation was to protect his image, honour and dignity. Adamu said that the party lacked good leadership in the state, as such it would be unwise for him to remain in its state executive council.

According to him, most card carrying members of the party and the generality of sympathisers have also lost confidence in the state leadership of the APC. “I tender my resignation as APC Zonal Vice Chairman Bauchi South Senatorial District in view of the prevailing circumstances and political realities of present day Bauchi State APC,” he said.

He accused the party leadership of “unethical behaviours” which were in conflict with the political ideology and philosophy of the party’s apex leader President Muhammadu Buhari.

Adamu however said he would remain a member of the APC, and expressed the hope that measures would be taken to correct the anomalies within the party, so as to ensure purposeful leadership.
