As All Progressives Congress crisis deepens, members of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change in Gombe State have formed a group, Adalchi, to broaden support for President Muhammadu Buhari and ensure better representation in the ruling party leadership in the state.
The chairman of the group and former member of the House of Representatives (Gombe, Kwami and Funakaye federal constituency), Khamisu Mailantarki, told Premium Times.
Mr. Mailantarki said the CPC members decided to regroup to resist the activities of party leaders in the state, who they accused of jeopardising the efforts and policies of the Buhari-led federal government and marginalising them in the state.
He said though the APC emerged from the merger of three political parties, members of the defunct new-PDP in Gombe hijacked the party from ward to the state levels.
“The members of the CPC were shut out as none of the CPC member emerged in the APC executive committee or structures from the unit, wards, local government, state and national level”, Mr. Mailantarki alleged. “None of the CPC member was allowed to contest in any position during the general election in 2015,” he added.
