Aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa state have been urged to resign from the party if they so, please.

List of aggrieved members of the APC in Nasarawa state
They include serving Senator Godiya Akwashiki; the senator representing Nasarawa north, Ahmed Wadada; the 2019 Governorship aspirant and serving House of Representatives members Gaza Egbefin; the lawmaker representing Nasarawa west and serving House of Assembly representing Keffi East Abdulaziz Danladi who defected to Action Alliance party.
However, in his reaction to threats by the aggrieved members, Governor Sule read the riot act to political appointees and dared them to remain loyal to APC or quit.
His words:
“I don’t want to fire anybody. I believe that it’s important first to ask people out of respect, to either change their ways or to be loyal to the government or quit the government.
“What a reasonable and honourable person will do, if I am not loyal to somebody, I have no business working for that person. If you don’t think your loyalty is to the government, please be a human being and resign."
Okowa fires back at Tinubu, leaks APC, Jagaban's fears over Atiku's presidential candidacy
Ifeanyi Okowa had engaged the presidential candidate of the ruling party in a war of words over his comments on Atiku Abubakar's choice of running mate.
The Delta state governor cautioned the APC national leadership against attacks on individual politicians.
According to Okowa, it is important for Bola Tinubu to focus on an issue-based campaign throughout the build-up of the 2023 elections.
Big men things: Atiku throws huge challenge to Bola Tinubu ahead of 2023 presidential election
Bola Tinubu had earlier been challenged to take the hot seat and subject himself to a one-hour television interview like his opponents in the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party.
This challenge to the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate was thrown to him by Atiku Abubakar.
Atiku's challenge to Tinubu is a sequel to the latter's comment that the PDP candidate is a pathological liar after the former's appearance in a TV interview where he said that the APC's national leader begged to be his running mate in 2007.
