APC Stakeholders in Suleja rejects imposition of LG party Chairman, to seek redress in court.
In a swift reaction to the decision of the APC Niger State working committee confirming Idris B. Nana as the APC Chairman of Suleja LGA against Gambo Ibrahim, who led the party for more than two years after the LG Party Congress in October 2021, the Party LG Stakeholders Forum rejected the decision of the State Party Working Committee.
While citing reference to the letter by the State working committee promising to communicate the stakeholders on their resolution, expressed regret that this did not happen and instead to confirm Idris B. Nana as the substantive APC Chairman of Suleja LGA against their resolution of dropping the two principal figures in contention.
The Stakeholders forum also expressed displeasure with the State Working Committee Resolution in its entirety, saying it is against the general interest of the majority of APC members and supporters in Suleja LGA.
The Suleja APC Stakeholders Forum consequently appealed for the Working Committee’s understanding and cooperation to salvage the situation by revising the matter and considering their earlier resolution of dropping the two principal actors in contention and adopting the option of bringing new persons to spearhead the affairs of the Party in the LGA as the panacea for peaceful resolution of the crisis.
Similarly, The Stakeholders in their letter, said any action contrary to their resolution would confirm to them that the Party has negative motive behind their action towards the good people of Suleja and their desire for the party in the LGA to remain in crisis forever.
The Stakeholders also reminded the State Working Committee that in a democracy, issues of consent are paramount and that they can only lead a person with his consent. Failure to recognize their right to self-determination will force them to resist and assure them that the consequences will not augur well for the party.

“I am also surprised at how Alh Aminu Bobi emphasised the support for Hon Yahaya Alhassan Gwagwa, Abdullahi Maje and Hajiya Lantana, the state woman leaders who during election all lost at their wards to the opposition party at the last general elections.
He stressed that the State Chairman Alhaji Bobi as a leader should learn to address his members with decorum, his utterances must be guided and learn to address the public more politely and democratically.
He then disclosed in the statement that, “I want to state here that I will be challenging my illegal removal as the substantive APC chairman of the suleja local government by the SWC in a court of law”
