APC chieftain says Buhari may lose election, claims Dogara aided Gov Abubakar’s victory

A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Bauchi State, Alhamdu Shagaya has claimed that his principal worked hard to ensure the victory of Governor Mohammad Abubakar in the 2015 general elections.‎

Shagaya who is presently an aid to Speaker Yakubu Dogara also stated that President Muhammadu Buhari, Governor Abubakar and other candidates of the party may lose in the 2019 election due to their inability to conduct free and fair party primaries.

The party faithful who stated this in Bauchi on Friday, accused the Bauchi governor of betrayal, stressing that, “I’m confident to open up that Dogara, Aminu Tukur and late Senator Ali Wakili apart from us were very instrumental to the emergence of Governor Abubakar as Bauchi State Governor in the 2015 election”.

Shagaya who is contesting for state Assembly seat of Bogoro local government area maintained that APC primary election was a fraud due to irregularities, advised the party to embrace internal democracy or risk being voted out of power in 2019.

He warned that should the APC deliberately failed to entertain complaints brought to it by aggrieved members it will definitely spell doom for the party ahead 2019 and that would amount to a reflection of how PDP lost to it in 2015.

While blaming the APC national chairman and APC governors for all the party’s woes, Shagaya lamented that some APC aspirants were duped and denied the chance to contest in 2019.‎

Shagaya who also said President Buhari may not win the 2019 election, because APC is being plagued by injustice stated that the President does not care about the plight of APC supporters which according to him has culminated in the current crisis rocking the party across the country.
