‘Adamawa APC Assembly Primaries Proof of Party’s Readiness’

The peaceful manner in which the All Progressives Congress (APC) conducted its state assembly primary election in Adamawa State was a pointer to the party’s readiness to win the state come 2015, North-east zonal vice chairman of the party, Babachir Lawal, has said.

Reacting to the crisis that trailed the conduct of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) state assembly primary poll in the state, Lawal said the PDP was heading for the doom in the state.

While congratulating winners of the election at the party’s secretariat in Yola, Lawal called on the electorates to reject the PDP and vote the APC come 2015 so that development would be taken to their doorsteps.
He lamented the occupation of large territory in the North-east region by Boko Haram insurgents who turned many into internally displaced persons.
“It is sad that the PDP government has not bothered about the plight of our people,” he said, adding: “No student from Adamawa North will qualify for admission into any university or polytechnic this year.”
He appealed to the APC candidates to form reconciliation committees with a view to consolidating on the unity of the party.
