The former Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu Abubakar, has threatened to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC) if justice fails to prevail in his appeal regarding the outcome of the just-concluded primary in Nasarawa State.
PrimeTimes Nigeria reports that Abubakar, while addressing journalists on Saturday, said that the outcome of the primary was altered in favour of the government’s preferred candidate, Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada, at the last minute.
Abubakar, who claimed to have won with a landslide, stated that the declaration of Wadada as the winner of the poll did not receive the blessings of 90 per cent of the APC members and stakeholders in the state because of the irregularities that trailed the exercise.
He urged the appeal committee and the party’s national leadership to overturn the outcome in his favour, while expressing confidence that he would get justice.
The former police boss vowed that failure of the party leadership to do justice in the matter will leave him with no choice but to join another political party to realise his ambition.
According to him, his aspiration to rescue and reposition Nasarawa State remains alive, and he expressed confidence that, with public support, he would contest and win in 2027, either under APC or another party.
He urged his supporters to remain calm, peaceful, law-abiding and committed to the struggle for fairness and a better Nasarawa State.
He stated, “Should justice prevail, we shall continue our journey within the APC. However, If justice is denied we shall communicate to you the next line of action and the political platform under which we shall contest the 2027 governorship race.”
