Leadership crisis has hit the All Progressives Congress, APC, as a new faction has emerged within the ruling party.
Alhaja Hafsatu Danladi, a political commentator and activist, has declared herself the chairperson of a factional APC, claiming leadership of the party amid the deepening internal crisis.
According to her, the faction has already notified the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and is seeking the derecognition of the National Working Committee (NWC) led by Nentawe Yilwatda.
In a statement released by the chairperson of the APC-led Hafsatu faction, Danladi asserted her position as the “true and authentic Chairperson” of the APC and announced plans to challenge the current leadership in court.
The statement reads in part: “I, Alhaja Hafsatu Danladi, hereby assert my position as the true and authentic Chairperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“In light of recent developments within the party, I will be approaching the Federal High Court in Abuja to challenge the legitimacy of the current leadership. This action seeks to unseat what I consider an illegitimate structure presently overseeing the affairs of our great party.
“Furthermore, I will be requesting the court to direct the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to discontinue recognition of the National Working Committee (NWC) led by Mr. Nentawe Yilwatda.
“This step is necessary to uphold the rule of law, protect the integrity of our party, and ensure that due process is followed in its leadership.” She said.
Danladi maintained that the move is aimed at restoring legality and due process within the ruling party.
