Jigawa APC vows to sanction members promoting disunity

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Jigawa State has vowed to take disciplinary actions against any individual or group of members found spreading rumours and promoting disunity within the party in the state.

This was contained in a press statement titled “A CAUTION FOR THOSE UNPATRIOTIC THAT INTEND TO THROW JIGAWA STATE IN TO DISREPUTE”, issued, signed, and made available to THE NATION in Dutse by the State Party (APC) Secretary, Mr Muhammad Dikuma.

He warned all members of the party to desist from any comment or statement that would cause disintegration of the unity of the party.

According to the statement: “The All Progressives Congress (APC), Jigawa State Chapter, having reviewed the current trends of events and happenings in the state, wishes to with all sincerity and commitment to duty and righteousness state that some dissenting voices in respect of the Government of Jigawa state under Mallam Umar Namadi are voices that lack clear understanding of the dynamics of governance.”

The statement stated further that, “the APC as a party of the people does not in any way (remotely or closely) buy the idea of creating disharmony and confusion in the government of Jigawa state under His Excellency Governor Malam Umar Namadi.”

Mr Muhammad Dikuma explained that, “the media outcries that rant the air these days are but deliberate attempts to tarnish the image of the government, so as to take away his good attention from the excellent services to the people of Jigawa state.”

He said the party (APC) warns any recalcitrant from media speeches that are clearly rumours and ill-feelings that intend to cause chaos in the state so that they may reap the fruits of disharmony and discontent.

The ruling party maintained that: “It is again pertinent to note that, governor Namadi and the serving Minister of Defence are in good accord and friendship. They hope to promote Jigawa state to excellence.”

“Thus, all voices should be geared towards creating a very good atmosphere of freedom, liberty and progress in Jigawa state so that the dividends of democracy are fully explored and exploited.”

Dikuma maintained that APC and the government of Malam Umar Namadi will respond quickly and clearly to any attempt to throw the government into ridicule, disrepute, contempt and/or blackmail.

“The APC as a party will henceforth take appropriate measures (including legal actions) on any popularity seeking unpatriotic charlatans.”
