Youths and concerned citizens under the auspices of the Bindow Awareness for Change, BAC, has raised the alarm over an inflow of the All Progressives Congress, APC’s fake membership cards and an already filled out result sheet of the gubernatorial primary in the state.
In a statement jointly signed by the National Coordinators of BAC and the Youth League, Julius Benson and Haruna Zakari, on Thursday, the group alleged that there are thousands of fake APC membership cards in circulation in the state.
According to them, these cards were being allocated to some chieftains and members of the party in the state for onward distribution.
The group also made allegations of cases of multiple registrations by some insincere members of the party.
“Our meticulous investigation reveals that the printing of the said fake cards were printed in Lagos and moved to Yola and it is revealed that the new membership cards were not used anywhere in Nigeria other than Lagos.
“The printing and distribution of the so-called membership cards, we want to believe, is the handiwork of criminal and wicked agents that are bent either on destabilising the party or subverting the will of the people.
“Whichever, the action is disheartening, crudely harsh, appalling, unacceptable, and should be a source of concern to all stakeholders, both within and outside the State.
“While appealing to the good people Adamawa State and APC members to disregard any calls for collection of membership cards from fraudulent and desperate politicians, we will always give adequate publicity to the party’s legitimate actions and programmes for proper awareness.
“We also call on security agents to carry out thorough investigations into the development to unmask the gladiators behind it, and ensure that they are proportionately punished, to serve as a deterrent to others from cultivating similar criminal tactics,” the statement said.
