A former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Ghali Umar Na’Abba has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) over what he described as crass incompetence and lack of vision in the ruling party.

Na’Abba, who was  Speaker of the lower legislative chamber from 1999 to 2003 conveyed his resignation from the ruling party through a letter which he addressed to the APC Chairman of Sharada Ward in Kano State.

The letter read in part: “This is to notify you of my resolve to resign from the All Progressives Congress (APC) effective today, 5th December 2018.

“My decision to resign from the party follows the cavalier manner in which both the Federal Government and states controlled by the APC and the APC itself are being run, as a result of which anybody who has eyes to see only sees doom and not prosperity for our dear country.

“It is a measure of the incompetence of the APC government that after all is said and done, it has lost a Senate President and a Speaker of the House of Representatives and many others for reasons that border on meanness, lack of simple management skills and capacities and a great measure of arrogance.

“While it is generally accepted that no human organization can be rancour-free, it is disheartening that these conflicts in the party are inflicted by its leaders, some of whom can be said to be poorer in human qualities than the poorest of men.

“Under these conditions, no person can be politically mobile except he becomes a sycophant, it becomes necessary for me to speak up. This I did many times, unfortunately only to be met with complicit silence.”
