APC Rep member labels party deceitful, fraudulent

A member of the House of Representatives, Musa Moba has labeled the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a deceitful and fraudulent party.

Moba, from Kaduna State, made the allegation in a letter addressed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, in which he intimated the House of his decision to leave the APC.

Soba is one of the over 70 aggrieved APC lawmakers, who protested their loss of return tickets but lost at the appeal panel of the APC.

The Speaker, while reading the letter, said Soba’s resignation letter is an epistle.

The letter reads in part: “As you are aware, the APC is yet to recover from the self-inflicted injury occasioned by double standard, indiscipline and sheer impunity in the conduct of its affairs.

“It is regrettable that the APC, which has enjoyed a lot of goodwill after its formation which culminated in our electoral victory in 2015, is now in disarray due to a complex mixture of ineptitude and inability to understand the dynamics of power in a democratic system of government.

“Mr Speaker, I have been personally short-changed by a system I so much trusted and believed in. I have also been serially deceived and defrauded by a political party I helped to nurture and sustain. However, it is the sharp division within the APC members and the mutual antagonism between the membership and the leadership of the APC more than any other factor that propelled me to take my exit.

“Accordingly, I wish to place it on record that from today 24th October, 2018, I cease to be a member of the APC, having tendered my resignation letter to all the relevant party organs.

“Since the political horizon is wide enough to accommodate my ideology and aspirations, I shall announce the name of my new political party in the next few days.”
