The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has disassociated itself from a coalition known as “12 APC Groups,” which recently called for the removal of State Commissioner of Police Dr. Ibrahim Adamu Bakori. The coalition accused the police commissioner of refusing to participate in Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary Parade and demanded his dismissal.
According to Kano State APC Chairman Prince Abdullahi Abbas, the group does not genuinely represent the party. In a statement, Prince Abbas described the individuals behind the coalition as “paid agents” working for disgruntled politicians. He emphasized that true APC members support the commissioner’s decision to stay away from the parade, noting that it complied with official directives.
Prince Abbas also called on the Federal Government to investigate and punish other federal security agencies that attended the event despite being instructed not to. He said these agencies should face consequences for violating clear orders.
The Kano APC Chairman reaffirmed that the party remains united and warned the public against being misled by fake groups claiming to represent the APC. He stressed that such groups are driven by selfish political interests. The incident underscores the importance of verifying the authenticity of organizations that claim to speak for political parties, especially in sensitive matters involving government institutions and public events.
This development comes amid ongoing discussions about the role of political parties and government institutions in Nigeria. The APC’s clarification aims to maintain transparency and accountability within the party and its relationship with government agencies. As the investigation unfolds, it is likely to have implications for the parties involved and the broader political landscape in Nigeria.
