Abdulrahman Haske Cites Arrogance and Lack of Reconciliation for APC Exit
Speaking on TVC News, newly declared Allied Peoples Movement (APM) governorship candidate for Adamawa State, Abdulrahman Haske, revealed that his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) was driven by a total absence of genuine post-primary reconciliation efforts.
Haske criticized certain APC party officials and online figures, describing their attitude toward aggrieved party members—including prominent figures like Senator Aishatu Binani—as arrogant and dismissive.
Addressing criticisms regarding his political experience, Haske challenged the notion of "established politicians," questioning what true political capital means for individuals who have never won elections at local or state levels.
Reaffirming his belief in the electorate, Haske stated that elections are not decided by party labels or self-proclaimed elite structures, but by actual voters at the polls.
"If there was genuine reconciliation, my exit from the party could have been avoided... But when people show you that they are too arrogant or feel they can do it themselves, then maybe it's better for you to just move to a different house." — Abdulrahman Haske, APM Governorship Candidate
Deep-Dive Analysis
Key Takeaways from the TVC Interview
The discussion centered on party internal friction, elite political gatekeeping, and grassroots electorate power in Adamawa State:
- Absence of Reconciliation in APC: Haske noted that following contentious primaries, the APC leadership failed to reconcile key stakeholders. Instead, party officials dismissed major figures who eventually defected, creating an unwelcoming atmosphere for reform-minded politicians.
- Redefining "Political Capital": Responding to claims that established politicians were squeezing out newer faces, Haske pushed back against claims of "experience," noting that incumbent Governor Ahmadu Fintiri is one of the few who has earned the title by winning two elections, unlike self-appointed elites who cannot deliver their own local government areas.
- Focus on Electorate Power: Haske rejected the reliance on established party structures, maintaining that the ultimate deciding factor in the upcoming election will be the voters themselves rather than traditional party machinery.
