May 15, (THEWILL) – The DSK campaign organisation on Sunday, opposed the appointment and inauguration of four local Government Party chairmen by the State Chairman of the APC, Barr Ibrahim Tukur El-Sudi.
Hon Abba Akawuzaga, Chairman of the David Sabo Kente Campaign organisation, made their stand clear in a press briefing in Jalingo, stressing that the act is unilateral and unacceptable.
“On behalf of the four local government Party Chairmen, I, hereby, vehemently oppose the unilateral decision of the state APC chairman, Alhaji El-Sudi.
“It is on record that the splinter local government chairmen that were inaugurated yesterday, were never elected by the congress in line with the provisions of the constitution of our great party, and so could not stand as chairmen of these respective local government areas.
“The implications of what transpired yesterday, does not only invalidate the El-Sudi led state Exco, as the chairmen he is trying to set aside came on board through the same process that brought him and the state Executive to power, but has also opened a window for litigations and agitations, that could have far reaching consequences for the party.
“This means that whatever actions taken by these unelected and illegitimate officials, can be challenged in court and nullified”, he said.
Hon Abba called on the National Headquarters of the Party to address the matter urgently, before it causes damage to the party.
“We urge the national chairman of our party to call El-Sudi to order and warn him against dancing to the dictates of some desperate individuals and moneybags, who want to clinch the ticket of the party through illegitimate means”, he said.
THEWILL gathered that the State Party Chairman, Barr El-Sudi, had earlier inaugurated four out of five local Government Chairmen of the party from Southern Taraba.
