Why APC May Lose Jigawa In 2023 – Gov Badaru
Muhammad Badaru, governor of Jigawa, on Friday said the crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress (APC), if not settled, may affect the party’s chances of retaining power in the state beyond 2023.
Ekohotblog reports that the governor sounded the note of caution while speaking at the inauguration of the APC caretaker committee in Duste, state’s capital.
Badaru, who was twice elected governor under the party, said he would no longer condone any form of disunity in the party, adding that those seeking to join another faction of the party in the state would be closely monitored.
The inauguration of the committee is sequel to the removal of Habibu Sara, former APC chairman in Jigawa, from office after a caucus meeting.
Sara was accused aligning with Sabo Nakudu, senator representing Jigawa central.
The governor charged the committee to be work towards development of the party in the state.
“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,” he said.
“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.
He said the party stood the risk of losing the state if the committee members continued to put their personal motives and ambition ahead of collective interests.

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