Why party chairmen shouldn’t take sides in our feud – Kaduna speaker

The Speaker of Kaduna State House of Assembly, Yusuf Zailani, has cautioned chairmen of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kaduna Central Senatorial district to beware of any illegal forum or issuing statements that are against the constitution of the party.

The feud between the speaker and Senator Uba Sani (APC, Kaduna Central) has polarised the APC in Kaduna Central Senatorial district.

Zailani, through a statement issued by his political adviser, Ismaila Shuaibu Sabon Birni, said, “Our attention has been drawn to a publication of purported resolutions reached at a meeting of seven APC chairmen of Kajuru, Chikun, Kaduna South, Kaduna North, Birnin Gwari, Igabi and Giwa on the unfortunate altercations fuelled by an aggrieved section of the party leadership.

“We note that whereas party leaders, especially those at the grassroots, are expected to set the example by providing leadership in line with the values of our party, the local government chairmen, in this case, chose to be guided by personal whims not minding that their conduct will rub off on the image of the party.

“By flagrantly slackening the accepted standards of fairness, these seven local officials have selfishly set the foundation for arbitrariness and impunity in dispute arbitration among party members,” he said.
