Ajaka steps down as APC’s deputy spokesperson

Murtala Ajaka, who was serving as the Deputy National Publicity Secretary for the All Progressives Congress (APC), has resigned from his position within the party.

Ajaka, who was a candidate for governor of the APC in Kogi and was hoping to win the party’s nomination, did not succeed in doing so. Ahmed Ododo, who had served as Auditor-General of the state’s local government previously, defeated him.

In order to leave nothing to chance in advance of the governorship election that will take place on November 11 in Kogi, the APC deputy spokesman penned a letter to the National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Adamu.

Ajaka tendered his resignation as a member of the National Working Committee in a letter dated May 17th. In the same letter, Ajaka tendered his resignation from his position.

It was written in part as follows: “I write to inform your good self and the National Working Committee of our great Party, the All Progressives Congress, of my decision to resign my office as the Deputy National Publicity Secretary and also as a member of the NWC,” the letter stated in part. “I write to inform your good self and the National Working Committee of our great Party, the All Progressives Congress.”

“This gesture is a consequential act to the resignation of my membership, a notice of which I have already communicated in writing to the APC Chairman of Ajaka Ward 1 in Igalamela/Odolu LGA of Kogi State,” she said. “The resignation of my membership was a consequence of this act.

“Please allow me to extol the exemplary brinkmanship, astuteness, sagacity, and political dexterity with which Your Excellency, being supported by the current National Working Committee, has successfully bonded the hitherto fragile fabrics of the Party, firmly enough to record the most eminent victories in the most recent general elections. I would also like to thank the current National Working Committee for their assistance in this endeavor.

“Having triumphantly won the presidential election, therefore, I have the utmost faith that the Party, under your able charge, will assist the incoming administration in elevating the standard of governance for the greater good of Nigerians,” he said. “It is my hope that you will take this opportunity to congratulate me on my victory.”

The politician from Kogi failed to provide any indication that he will be joining any other party in the future, despite the fact that he is no longer a member of the APC. However, there are rumors that he is attempting to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in order to be selected as the party’s candidate for governor in the upcoming election. This would put him in a better position to win the election.
