The All Progressives Congress on Monday in Abuja inaugurated a caretaker committee to run the party’s affairs in Adamawa State.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the 10-man committee was inaugurated after the National Working Committee rose from a meeting at the national secretariat in Abuja.
It would be recalled that the party recently underwent an internal crisis at the state level following the death of the acting Chairman, Yamusa Shuaibi.
Late Shuaibi filled the vacuum left by the former state Chairperson, Senator Binta Garba, who was leader of the party, but left when she became a senator.
Before inaugurating the committee, the APC National Secretary, Alhaji Mai Mala Buni, called for a minute’s silence for Shuaibi, saying “death created a vacuum in the Adamawa chapter.
“As a political party and in line with our constitution, there should be no vacuum and we have capable hands that can lead the state in line with the relevant article of our constitution.
“We hereby inaugurate you into the NWC of our state chapter in Adamawa.”
In his acceptance speech, the acting state Chairman, Alhaji Ibrahim Bilal, said: “We are happy with the situation.
“We will not bring shame upon APC in Adamawa.
“APC has bestowed trust in us and we will not fail.
“APC has done well for us in Adamawa.
“The Secretary to the Government of the Federation is from Adamawa.
“We have two governors.
“So what else do we want?
“We will remain united and focused and by God’s grace, we will not fail you.”
Other members of the 10-man caretaker committee members are Samaila Tadawus, Vincent Musa, Saidu Maira, Muhammad Audu, Monday Audu, Ibrahim Abubakar, Gambo Bakare, Hauwa Koma and Abubakar Dan-azumi.
