The internal wrangling within the APC in Plateau appear to be reaching feverish heights, with the interim management committee of the APC in Plateau, asking the party’s national secretariat to disregard calls for the dissolution of the state exco and the allegations made by a group called “APC for All in Plateau” that the state interim chairman, Gen. John Shagaya (Rtd) is running the party like his personal business.

It was gathered that the leader of the “APC for All in Plateau”,’ Mr. B Leksheik had last Thursday led a delegation to the party headquarters in Abuja where he issued a protest letter accusing Shagaya of creating problems in the party as well as not carrying other members of the party along.

It was gathered that the leader of the “APC for All in Plateau”,’ Mr. B Leksheik had last Thursday led a delegation to the party headquarters in Abuja where he issued a protest letter accusing Shagaya of creating problems in the party as well as not carrying other members of the party along.

However, in a statement made available to journalists in Jos, the state interim secretary, Alhaji Ibrahim Dasuki Nakande described the statement by the group as false stressing that Leksheik defected from the defunct CPC to foment trouble and started creating a faction within the party. It also said that he later crossed over to the former ACN without fully responding to some allegations that had been levelled against him.
Nakande explained that “In complete variance to their press statement, evidences are available to show that the interim management committee of the APC, after its inauguration on the 19/11/2013, has been holding meetings with Shagaya presiding over each meeting.
The statement further called on those in Leksheik’s delegation to work hard towards the congresses of the party beginning April 5th “by canvassing for votes to get elected into substantive position from the units, wards, LGAs and state rather than ranting like a cricket destined for self destruction.” He urged the general public to disregard the group and ignore their activities.
