The internal wrangling rocking the Plateau State chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has taken a twist as 18 aggrieved gubernatorial aspirants and other stakeholders have formed a pressure group known as “Plateau Project 2” to pursue litigations and petitions arising from the gubernatorial primary of the party to a logical conclusion.
According to a statement signed by the Chairman of the group, Mr Omar Shittien, “the group represents a political movement to pursue the injustice perpetrated by certain forces in the party.
“We are dismayed over the blatant refusal of the party to conduct election of delegates before the conduct of the recently concluded primaries for all political offices in the state.”
Aggrieved Plateau APC guber aspirants, elders vow to fight injustice
“The Plateau Project 2 comprises the 18 aggrieved APC Governorship, State Assembly, Senate and House of Representatives aspirants as well as local government chairmanship aspirants who were deprived of their right to contest election after being cleared by the party.
“It is undemocratic for the party to have imposed party officials at the wards, LG, state offices as well as the national officers against the wish of the party members.
“We have therefore resolved that all petitions arising from complaints about these injustices shall be vigorously perused to logical conclusion.”
