Haruna Sa’eed, a political ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, who was the governorship candidate of the president's Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in Kaduna in the 2011 elections, has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to
PREMIUM Times, while speaking at a press conference on Thursday in Kaduna, Sa’eed said he was leaving the APC because of the leadership crisis in the party in Kaduna.
Sa’eed, popularly called Haruna AG, said despite being a stakeholder in the state, he was never regarded or consulted on how to run the party.
“I Haruna Yunusa Sa’eed today 15 March, 2018 decided to withdraw my membership of All Progressive Congress, due to leadership crisis in the state,” he said.
He said he has submitted his withdrawal letter to his Kajuru ward chairman and the party chairman in his local government area.
It was learnt that the APC in Kaduna is split into separate factions with the faction loyal to Governor Nasir El-Rufai recognised by the national leadership of the party.
