A coalition of six governorship aspirants from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Yobe State has issued a vote of no confidence against the state party chairman, Alhaji Mohammed Gadaka. The aspirants allege that Gadaka has exhibited bias and partiality, undermining the integrity of the party’s primary election process.
During a meeting held in Abuja, the aspirants released a statement calling for Gadaka’s immediate removal from all responsibilities related to the conduct and oversight of the Yobe State APC primaries. They argued that his conduct has made it impossible to trust that he can oversee a free, fair, and transparent direct primary election.
The statement emphasized that the aspirants no longer have confidence in Gadaka’s ability to manage the primary election impartially. They demanded that the national leadership of the APC intervene and reassign Gadaka to ensure a credible electoral process.
Despite their criticism of the state chairman, the aspirants reaffirmed their support for the APC national leadership and expressed their continued backing for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid. They reiterated their commitment to the party’s ideals and their desire for a democratic and credible primary election in Yobe State.
