The senator Adamawa Central district, Abdul-Azeez Nyako, has revealed that he and others including his father, former governor Murtala Nyako, are set to quit the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) due to marginalisation.
Premium Times reports that Nyako said this when he addressed his supporters in Yola, alleging that they were completely marginalised in the recently held ward, local government and state congresses in Adamawa state.

According to him, his father, Murtala Nyako, lost control of his own ward in Mayo-Belwa local government.
The senator said the ongoing reconciliatory move between the APC leadership and aggrieved members of the New PDP was simply a ruse.
“We have no option than to go, but we are still discussing the party to move to with our entire structure.
“I have spoken with Prof Jerry Gana in SDP. I also spoke with Attahiru Bafarawa and fixed an appointment for him with Admiral Nyako. Bafarawa wants us to return to PDP.
“On Thursday, I went to Abeokuta and sat (down) with (former president) Obasanjo about ADC.
“He directed me to see Col Oyinlola who assured us that we will be absorbed with our structures if we join the party.
“I also spoke with Kwankwaso (former Kano governor) before the congresses,” he said adding that the former Kano governor spoke about a new party to come up soon.
“I was given the party’s constitution about a month ago, it’s a new party expected to be approved soon with four others by INEC,” Nyako said adding that he was happy they were leaving APC ‘before it’s too late’.
