Adamu Usman Challenges APC Over Candidate Replacement

Adamu Usman, a former Speaker of the Niger State House of Assembly, has expressed concerns about altering political party rules after candidates have been nominated, stating that such actions could harm political party development. Usman was initially the consensus candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Lavun/Edati/Mokwa Federal Constituency but was later replaced on the candidate list, prompting him to challenge this decision in court.

He articulated that his legal action transcends personal ambition, aiming to uphold party governance by established rules. Usman emphasized the importance of challenging questionable processes to prevent the erosion of nomination procedures.

He remains committed to the APC and leads the Amana Tinubu/Bago Support Group, which aims to mobilize support for the party across various electoral levels. Usman plans to engage with supporters in Mokwa and other areas to explain his situation, while the group's chairman, Hussaini Abdullahi, stated their commitment to reconciliation and continued mobilization during the ongoing legal process.
