Following the protest at the All Progressives Congress, APC’s headquarters, some members of the party have called the National chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, to step down.
Spokesman of the group, Usman Mohammed Karshi, told the press that, the group was on a mission to protestinjustice and imposition of mode of primary election in the FCT; an original inhabitants of the territory. They also called for Oshiomhole’s resignation, and doubted if he was not working for opposition parties.
He said, “We are here to protest injustice. We are here to protest imposition. We are here to sound it loud and clear that we are solidly in support of president Muhammadu Buhari in 2019. We are here; tell all who have ears that, in the FCT, results will not be written. We are here to state it loud and clear that FCT APC is going for indirect primary.
“We are here to make it clear to Oshiomhole that we are comrades and that was why we voted for him as chairman. So, we are appealing to his sense of reason. He should be reasonable to give us what we want. FCT APC rejects direct primary in FCT”.
“NEC was very clear about it that all should go back to their states, and chose whatever method they want. That it is either you go for direct, indirect primaries or consensus.
He added that, for the fact that FCT leaders, all nine senatorial and 15 House of Representatives aspirants met and agreed that FCT is going for indirect primary, this should not be suddenly changed by Oshiomhole and the National Working Committee change it.
“It is unacceptable. You cannot write results here in the name of direct primaries. It is not possible,” he concluded.
