The group citing the party’s constitution as such actions is an offence asked those perpetrating the mischief to desist from maligning the person of El-Sudi adding that conflicts will hinder efforts to of the party from taking over the reins of leadership from the opposition People’s Democratic Party during the upcoming elections in the state.
Convener of the group, Adamu Garba, in a statement said” the Campaign of calumny and charracter assassination against the person of Hon. Ibrahim Tukur El-Sudi the Chairman All Progressives Congress, Taraba State from an alleged protest carried out yesterday 16th May, 2022 purportedly held by sponsored groups parading themselves as APC EXCO at the APC National Secretariat Abuja (Buhari House).”
“We wish to use this medium to condemn the activities of some of our political leaders who are hellbent to their selfish interest against the overall interest of the party in the state, aimed at unnecessarily heating up the political atmosphere in our party by sponsoring unwarranted and frivolous protest against the Honorable Chairman (Hon. El-Sudi) through their faceless errand boys christened APC EXCO, Taraba State.”
“It is highly disheartening that people who are supposed to be elder state men in the party will be sponsoring a campaign of calumny against the sitting Chairman at a time that we have to join forces to chase away the opposition party (PDP) from Taraba State government house.”
“Furthermore, this unwarranted sponsored media engagement aimed at tarnishing the image of hon. Chairman (El-Sudi) is a high level show of irresponsibility on the part of the leaders who are sponsoring it.”
“Consequently, Hon. El-Sudi has been reportedly targeted by these desperate and self-centered politicians in Taraba State and their proxies with the worst kind of Character assassination, solely because he stands for justice, equity and fare play and refused to do their biding.”
“As a result of the above, there were several attempts by these leaders through their representatives and surrogates to do everything within their powers to hinder him (El-Sudi) from becoming the APC Chairman Taraba State. For example they obtained different Court Orders to restrain him from becoming the APC Chairman and calling him with malicious names amongst others. But when all these failed they (desperate politicians) now resorted to sponsor sklombo/(thugs) boys in Abuja to stage a protest against him at the APC National Secretariat Abuja (Buhari House) all in the bid to achieve their selfish interest.”
“At this juncture, may we use this opportunity to call on these leaders to stop fanning the ember of discord and instigating crisis within our dear party which is likely to embarrass or have adverse effects on the party or can bring the party to ridicule and hatred of which any of the above mentioned activity is an offence, contain in Article 21 of the APC Constitution 2014 as amended.”
