Kwara APC stalwart resigns party membership

Prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State, Dr. Abdulmumin Ajia, has resigned from the party.

He cited “gross incompetence and loss of legitimacy” under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as reasons for his resignation.

He conveyed his resignation in a letter to the party’s state chairman, Prince Sunday Fagbemi and copied journalists in Ilorin during the weekend.

Ajia was a former governorship candidate of the Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP) in Kwara in 2019.

He expressed disappointment with the APC’s alleged failure to deliver on its promises, noting that, instead the party was “visiting misery and death” on Nigerians.

He called on like-minded individuals to join him leave the party and work towards “real change” in Nigeria.

Ajia, who said that his recent critique of the APC leadership had sparked debate and discussion within political circles, said that there is growing discontent among some party members in the state.

Speaking on the nationwide protest against hardship in the country, Dr. Ajia, who said that he was in support of the protest, accused government of insensitivity.
“I hereby show solidarity with the people protesting against bad governance in Nigeria.

“I understand it does not just start today, however, there has to be a point where people would draw the line to say enough is enough.

“It’s shameful that people in government are living large, they don’t look like people who miss one meal in a day but they keep asking commoners to continue to persevere, how come the perseverance, and sacrifice is not being shared equally?

“So I am here to show solidarity to people that believe this country can do better and has to be better for all”.
