Signed by six leaders of the group, including Sani Taura,

Hafizu Abubakar, Bala Kazaure, Mutari Garki and Saifullahi Mudasshir, the petition accused the governor of singlehandedly championing the congresses that produced consensus nomination of Aminu Gumel as state chairman, alongside 35 others.

The APC stakeholders added that due process and provisions of the APC constitution were strangled on October 16, 2021 in the name of state congress. H
