A former Deputy Governor of Niger State and incumbent Secretary of the North Central Directorate of Mobilization for the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign, Ahmed Musa Ibeto, has resigned his membership from the All Progressives Congress as well as the party’s Presidential Campaign Council.
The Will reported that Ibeto announced his resignation in a letter addressed to the party’s Chairman for Ibelu Central Ward, Magama Local Government of Niger State on Tuesday.
Accord to the ex-Nigerian ambassador to South Africa, his reasons for defection include: absence of unity of purpose among party members and stakeholders occasioned by internal conflicts, unending litigations among others.
The letter read, “I write you with all sense of humility, respect and regards as the Chairman of APC, Ibelu Central Ward, to convey to you the resignation of my membership of All Progressives Congress from today, 3rd January, 2023.
“Mr. Chairman, with my many years of active participation in politics and as a former party administrator, an elected official into many political offices, I have come to this conclusion for many reasons, chiefly among which are the absence of Unity of purpose among party members and stakeholders occasioned by internal conflicts, unending litigations, internal threats and counter threats of anti-party activities, lack of genuine reconciliation coupled with lack of commitments and dedications to the success of the party by many stakeholders. For these obvious reasons, I concluded that I can not continue to be a member of the party.
“Mr. Chairman, by this resignation, I cease to be a member of the Presidential Campaign Council, Assistant Secretary of the North Central Directorate of Mobilization and all organs and committees of the party.
“I thank you most sincerely for all the cooperation and recognition accorded me while I was a member of the party.”
