Senator quits APC over ‘injustice’ in primary election

The representative of Edo North Senatorial District, Francis Alimikhena, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress.

The position of the aggrieved senator was contained in a letter dated May 27, 2022 to the party’s National Chairman.

In the letter to Senator Abdullahi Adamu, Alimikhena cited “injustice” as a reason for his withdrawal.

“I write to notify you that I have withdrawn from the Primary election as a result of injustice and also withdraw my membership from the party,” the Senator said.

Alimikhena is the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Customs, Excise and Tariff.

The APC is scheduled to hold Senate primaries on Saturday (today).
