” In the length and breadth of the country, there has been out cry of pending issues on the last Ward, Local Government congress, and even the state Congresses that is yet to be resolved. We are begging in the interest of fairness, unity and justice let all pending issues be resolved before our party’s primaries.
“The woes of the Congresses are still hunting us, there seem to bring forward commotion snipping to figure out possible crisis as party’s primaries are close by.
“Leaving all these issues unresolved will cause a serious disharmony, disaffection, and possible massive defections, a catastrophe that will all consume the party and every member to death and bury the party we all pride ourselves around to have people like President Muhammadu Buhari as its founding member.
” This forum has unearthed many sundry issues ranging from irregularities during the last Congresses, election malpractices that led to having fake party officials, and litigations hanging around the neck of some party members across the country.
“We are here to say that the
general elections are coming with many members keeping one malice or the other, there is a general feeling of hatred and lack of unity in the heart of aggrieved party supporters. Many have complained lack of sense of belonging is eluding the party system. Altered Names of many as confirmed delegates and were later told that their names were expunged and removed for reasons that are not convincing to them.
” Adamawa like many States has had its share of a worse effect of the last congresses. This is still staging threats of disunity among critical stakeholders.
“Over this, as concerned party Youth, we will not be silent while our house is burning and we pray the coming primaries will be void of issues and it will not be the thing that will slide the party into the same abyss of political confusion.
” We pray that the blunder of the past will not throw us all into a callosal loser of the coming 2023 elections caused by lack of fair play, justice, and inclusion of all party members.
“We don’t want a repeat of what happened in Adamawa and Bauchi States in 2019 to show up again in 2023. Let’s party officials ensure Justice and fairness has their full force in the primaries scheduled to take place in a few days to come.

We are making a wake-up Press Conference to remind all party men, including aspirants. APC cannot afford to lose the election again as another four years of failure will spell doom to the entire party and on every APC Man.
