Former Nigeria Ambassador to South Africa, Alhaji Ahmed Musa Ibeto has resigned from the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), a party he joined after dumping the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) years back.
Ibeto, a former member of the House of Representatives also served as Deputy Governor to the immediate past PDP administration led by Dr Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu for eight years before dumping the party for the APC, a move which earned him the Ambassadorial seat to South Africa.
According to a resignation letter dated 3rd of January, 2023, to the APC Chairman of Ibelu Central Ward, Magama Local Government Area, Niger State, Ibeto also declared that by his moves he ceases to be part of any engagements with the party at all levels.
Though his next political steps are not indicated, Ibeto said, “Mr Chairman, with my many years of active participation in politics and as a former party administrator, an elected official into many political offices, I have come to this conclusion for many reasons.”
Citing amongst others irreconcilable differences, Ibeto said, “Chiefly among which are the absence of unity of purpose among party members and stakeholders occasioned by internal conflicts, unending litigations, internal threats and counter threats of anti-party activities.”
“Lack of genuine reconciliation coupled with lack of commitments and dedication towards the success of the party by many stakeholders. For these obvious reasons, I concluded that I cannot continue to be a member of the party.”

According to the letter personally signed by himself, the former number two citizen in Niger state also indicated thus, “Mr Chairman, by this resignation I cease to be a member of the Presidential Campaign Council, Assistant Secretary of the North-Central Directorate of Mobilisation and all organs and committees of the party”.
