News reaching ViewPointNigeria indicates that the Former Interim Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateau state, General John Nanzip Shagaya has requested that the Interim National Chairman of APC, Chief Bisi Akande to disqualify the newly elected chairman of the party, Hon. Letep Dabang, because of what he construes as his not being suitable/qualified to contest the APC chairmanship seat.

General Shagaya in a letter addressed to the APC Interim chairman, ahead of a scheduled National Executive Committee meeting this week, alleged that Dabang alongside Jock Alamba, the party’s National Ex Officio had previously been indicted by a committee of the party.
He said the new leadership as now constituted undermines and excludes the legacy parties, because the emergence of the state chairman was masterminded by a seating senator of Labour Party.

He said the new leadership as now constituted undermines and excludes the legacy parties, because the emergence of the state chairman was masterminded by a seating senator of Labour Party.

He also alleged that Dabang is still an employee of the said LP sitting Senator and serves as his legislative aide in the National Assembly. He said, the Senator in reference is alleged to soon decamp to the PDP.

He contended that if this development is left unchecked, it could compromise the strength and followership of APC in the state. Shagaya, went further to allege that Jock Alamba used PDP members to serves as delegates during the APC congress in Jos South, Barkin Ladi and Riyom LGAs. A situation which should out-rightly disqualify them, he averred.

Shagaya went further to accuse Yahaya Kwande of obtaining funds from a presidential aspirant and using such to influence changes in the composition of delegates for the congress.
