Secretary to
the Bauchi state chapter of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Mahmood Babaji
has resigned his position as crisis is said to have hit the party.
Owojela’s
Blog gathered that the resignation followed rumours of crisis in the chapter of
the party.
It was
learnt that Babaji resigned after a failed attempt to impose and
single-handedly appoint unpopular politician as the party’s gubernatorial
candidate without the conduct of primary election.
Adamu Sufi
was said to be the anointed candidate of Babaji, but both lost out to Muhammed
Shuaibu, who is currently the party’s guber candidate.
The state
chairman of the party, Engineer Mohammed Barde confirmed the resignation of the
secretary to DAILY POST on Saturday.
He said
Babaji resigned over reasons best known to him.
Barde
stressed that there was no time both of them quarrelled in the course of carrying
out their official work.
He
exonerated the party from any supposed crisis leading to the resignation of
Babaji.
“It’s normal
such events in every political party for someone to resign and that is the beauty
of democracy,” Barde said.
He however
pointed out that NNPP is not like the All Progressives Congress, APC where gale
of defections hits it on daily basis over alleged injustice done to their members.
