EXCLUSIVE: ‘Why I left OfficialAPCNg’ — AbdulAbmJ opens up on his defection to 0fficialNNPP via thecableng
, director-general of the Bola Tinubu Support Group, says he left the All Progressives Congress “to take the needed measure to ensure that I survive an onslaught by a vengeful man who abuses the privileges of his distinguished office to frustrate my career and the career of many others”.
“Asiwaju did his best to intervene to prevent my exit from the party. Not because it would affect his campaign in any way but for the genuine likeness he has for me. Unfortunately, wherever this man after my career functions, I feel a sense of obligation to flee for my political safety,” he said.Although he did not name the “vengeful man”, there are strong suggestions that he was referring to Abdullahi Ganduje, the governor of Kano state.
Before I was appointed Executive Director at Federal Housing Authority, I had lost my seat through a questionable court judgement, especially in the subsequent by-election where the whole world witnessed the interferences that cost me the seat with some leaders of the APC involved. Though my new role was an appointment much lower than my previous positions, I accepted it in a good faith, believing it’s another avenue to serve my fatherland.
I have a family, state, and country to live for, and I cannot give my life to him. This is one impossible sacrifice. But this man yearned for that and put me through a mentally draining phase in my life that I had to step aside to reflect on my political choices. It’s unsurprising that all his political principals and lieutenants are deserting him, and he risks becoming an island at the end of his stewardship.
