The National Vice Chairman, North-east, of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hamman Tahir has said that the main reason APC was defeated in the recent Edo and other governorship elections in some states in 2015 was due to lack of justice in the party.
Tahir said this during his visit to Adamawa State APC Secretariat
on Saturday in Yola while explaining why the party lost. He also said the party
had learnt from its mistakes would never repeat the same mistakes in the 2023
general elections.
Tahir, who is also a member, National Caretaker and
Extraordinary National Convention Planning Committee of the APC, said that the
party would never allow such to happen again.
He stated that the internal injustice perpetrated by some
few members was the main reason behind the defeat of the APC in the Edo
governorship election.
“We lost many prominent personalities since 2015 and the
recent Edo election because of lack of justice in the party.
“There is a lot of outcry from APC supporters across the
country, who are complaining of being used during elections and abandoned after
winning the elections.
“I want to assure you, there is no more automatic ticket
again or imposition of candidates in APC,” Mr Tahir said.
He noted that the issues of automatic tickets and imposition
of candidates were the root courses of the party’s failure in most of the
states and local government areas in 2015 general elections.
The vice chairman, assured the party’s supporters that at
national level the officials would put more pressure to ensure justice was done
to any member of the party.
In his remark, Ibrahim Bilal, said that the party at the
state level was living peacefully and making preparation to collect their
stolen mandate in the state come 2023.
Mr Bilal appealed to the party’s members both at national
and state levels to double their efforts and strengthen the party in the state.
