BREAKING: I May Dump APC, Says Kwara Governor | TheCable

Abdulfatah Ahmed, governor of Kwara state, says he might quit the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

He gave the hint when he played host to stakeholders in Kwara central senatorial district on Thursday.

According to Wahab Oba, chief press secretary to the governor, the stakeholders prevailed on Ahmed and Senate President Bukola Saraki to immediately dump the APC.

Ahmed, who agreed with them that the party “has not met the expectations” of the people of Kwara, said top politicians in the state built the ruling party in the buildup to the 2015 elections.

He expressed disappointment over the “failure” of the government at national level to address insecurity, economy and unemployment challenges confronting the nation.

Ahmed spoke one day after Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue, resigned his membership of the ruling party.

TheCable had reported that Ortom, Ahmed and Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto state would leave the APC.
