APC leaders in Akoko North West fault Gov Aiyedatiwa’s appointment

Abia APC

In a decisive move against Governor Orimisan Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s recent appointment in Akoko North West, the APC Local Government Executives and ten Ward Chairmen have united against the nomination of Comrade Abduganiyu Mohammed as a Special Adviser.

The development was announced at a statutory meeting held on Sunday, March 3rd, 2024, where the APC leaders collectively denounced the appointment of Comrade Abduganiyu Mohammed by the governor.

THe party leaders cited 3 major concerns upon which the rejected is rooted:

  1. Opposition Labeling: Comrade Abduganiyu Mohammed is labelled as an opposition figure within the APC from Akoko North West.
  2. Loyalty Criticism: Mohammed is criticized for not being a loyal and faithful member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akoko North West.
  3. Recognition Deficiency: The majority of APC members, including Local Government Executives and Ward Chairmen, do not fully recognize Comrade Abduganiyu Mohammed. Additionally, he has been accused of never contributing to the progress and development of the APC Party in Akoko North West.

According to the party, in the previous General Election, Mohammed was allegedly involved in anti-party activities against the APC in Akoko North West.

Furthermore, Mohammed openly worked against the APC candidate, Hon Ifeoluwa Ehindero, in the recent Federal House of Representatives Bye-Election, supporting the PDP candidate.

In response, Mohammed’s ward (Ajowa/Eriti/Igedegede Ward 5) has issued a suspension letter, coupled with a rejection letter for his appointment, citing his lack of qualification as a loyal party member. APC Chairman Hon Kehinde Obanla and APC Secretary Comrade Bola-Salam of Akoko North West are urging Governor Aiyedatiwa to swiftly address and rectify this contentious appointment, emphasizing the importance of doing so for the benefit of the local government.

Efforts to reach Comrade Abduganiyu Mohammed has been futile as calls made to his official lines were not taken at the time of filing this report.
