Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a chieftian of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has been accused by the Youth Vanguard of the party of seizing the membership register.
The APC Youth Vanguard’s publicity secretary, Aliyu Isa-Moriki, via a statement accused Tinubu of perpetrating the act in cahoots with the party’s deputy national chairman, Lawali Shuaibu.
The statement reads:
‘’This afternoon, based on credible information from Sen Lawali Shuaibu, Asiwaju has ordered that the register and server be dismantled and moved to Lagos to one of his private offices or his house at Bourdillon,’’ the statement read in part.
DailyNigerua reports that the APC youth further said that some patriotic party members are, however, “making frantic efforts to stop this and prevent the illegal hijack of the membership register of Nigeria’s ruling party”.
“Asiwaju wants to control the server to enable him deregister his adversaries and make everyone beg and agree to his terms before giving access to the party’s membership register,’’ the group added.
The group further alleged that the national leader, “plans to destroy the register if he fails to get the APC presidential ticket, or move the entire membership to the new party which they are working on as a back up to APC, along with some splinter groups in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Grand Alliance(APGA).’’
