Why APC may lose 2023 election – Gov Badaru reveals

Governor Muhammad Badaru of Jigawa State has revealed the reason why the All Progressives Congress (APC), may lose the 2023 election in the state.

Mr Badaru said he expressed fear of the APC losing the 2023 governorship election and other polls to the opposition in Jigawa state if the crisis in the party is not checked.

The governor stated this while speaking at the inauguration of the APC caretaker committee in Duste, state’s capital, on Friday.

He warned that he would no longer tolerate any party member associating with factions in the state.

The committee’s inauguration is coming after Mr Habibu Sara, former APC chairman in Jigawa, was removed from office after a caucus meeting.

Mr Sara was accused of being loyal to Mr Sabo Nakudu, the Senator representing Jigawa central.

Mr Badaru said;

“I will remain vigilant watching those of you going to meet with the other factional group, you have got enough of my patience, I will no longer tolerate that again.

 “It’s interesting to see Borno and Yobe, ever since; APC has been on the helm. Jigawa too, we need to take a lesson and be our brothers’ keepers, so that we will continue to lead.

“If we allow our personal interest to influence our collective interest, I am assuring we are going to lose and by then my tenure would have elapsed.

“We are the responsible members of the party; I once sacrificed my governorship candidate to Hadejia emirate for sake of peace. However, God later made me the governor.”
