A former Inspector General of Police (IGP) and a gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa State, Mohammed Adamu Abubakar, has accused the party of planning to sabotage the forthcoming primaries through ward executives.
Speaking through the Chairman of Counter and Mobilisation of his campaign team, Isah Nathaniel, on Monday in Lafia, Abubakar alleged that there was a coordinated scheme to pressure ward executives across the 147 wards of the state into endorsing a preferred aspirant ahead of the 2027 elections.
The gubernatorial aspirant stated that it is not party organisation but “political manipulation in its crudest form,” lamenting that what is being disguised as coordination is, in truth, “a brazen attempt to hijack the will of party members and impose a predetermined outcome.”
The allegation came a few hours after the State Chairman of the party, Aliyu Bello, promised that the leadership would provide a level playing field for all aspirants during the primaries.
But Abubakar warned that using ward executives for a clandestine motive could throw the party into chaos and undermine its fortunes ahead of the 2027 elections, especially as stakeholders have agreed to adopt direct primaries for all elective positions.
He called on President Bola Tinubu to take immediate notice of the development and act decisively to protect the party’s integrity in the state.
He also called for urgent intervention from the party’s National Working Committee to halt the “unfolding illegality and restore constitutional order”.
He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to remain alert against any attempt to impose outcomes through coercion, stating that such attempts constitute a direct threat to public peace and must not be ignored.
