APC Crisis Takes Dangerous Dimension As R-APC Emerges, Says Oshiomole-led Exco Product Of Constitutional Infirmities

…Announces Alhaji Buba Galadima As National Chairman

The crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress took a dangerous dimension on Wednesday as the aggrieved members of the All Progress Congress called “Reformed All Progressives Congress (R-APC) announced Alhaji Buba Galadima as its National Chairman, alleging that the oshiomole-led national executive was a product of constitutional infirmities and a grossly manipulated process.

The R-APC while making the declaration through its national chairman at Sheraton Hotel Abuja on Wednesday, said after more than three years of governance, APC has only succeeded in betraying hopes and dashing the expectations of Nigeria.

Galadima stressed that APC has run a rudderless, inept and incompetent government that has failed to deliver good governance to the Nigerian people.

According to him, “We are sad to report that after more than three years of governance, our hopes have been betrayed, our expectations completely dashed. The APC has run a rudderless, inept and incompetent government that has failed to deliver good governance to the Nigerian people.

“It has rather imposed dictatorship, impunity, abuse of power, complete abdication of constitutional and statutory responsibilities, infidelity to the rule of law and constitutionalism. It has failed to ensure the security and welfare of our people and elevated nepotism to unacceptable height.

“The APC has failed to deliver on its key promises to the nation. There is no evidence of any political will to reverse the decline of our party, while leaders who have created these circumstances continue to behave as if Nigerians owe our party votes as a matter of right.”

Galadima who described the APC government as a monumental disaster, said it is even worse than the government it replaced.

According to him, the last action that broke the camel’s back was the recently held Congresses and Convention which were intensely disputed as it was conducted with impunity, total disregard for due process, disregard for the party Constitution and naked display of power and practices that have no place in a party we all worked the very hard to put in place.

He further informed that the R-APC as constituted, have officers in all the wards, 774 Local Governments, and all the 36 States of the Federation including the FCT.

The R-APC also has National Executive Committee , the National Working Committee and other organs of the Party are properly constituted and functional, he said.

Galadima informed that R-APC includes all the progressive forces in APC, including most of the leading members of the defunct nPDP, CPC, ANPP, ACN and others.

He promised that R-APC will work with like-minded political parties and groups to offer Nigeria qualitative good governance in 2019 as the country faces an existential threat arising from three years of near destruction and the exacerbation of ethnic, religious and divisive cleavages.

The R-APC national chairman said the party in concert with others, will offer real change to Nigeria not fake change.

Finally he said, “It is clear that our party needs a leadership that will live by its founding ideals. We have therefore decided to legitimately lead those members to work to rebuild our nation more firmly on genuine democratic principles, to enshrine good governance and restore the faith of Nigerians in the possibility of the existence of a prosperous, secure and peaceful nation
