APC crisis: Tension erupts as 38 exco members sack APC chairman in powerful northern state, gives reason

  • There is a serious crisis in the camp of the ruling All Progressive Congress, a few weeks before the 2023 presidential election
  • The development has led to a crack among strong stakeholders of the ruling party, especially in top northern states
  • While some aggrieved members have dumped the party in the process, others are picking sides which some political experts say might threaten the chances of the APC flagbearer Bola Tinubu at the poll

There is uneasy calm in the Taraba State chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC).

The crisis which led to the nullification of the governorship primary of the party by the Supreme Court took another dimension, on Saturday night, February 4th, as 38 out of the total members of the State Executive Committee passed a vote of no confidence in the Chairman, Ibrahim El-Suldi, and allegedly removed him from office.
