The unity and cohesion within the ranks of members of the Niger State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC is threatened leading to the birth of the “Niger State Rescue Movement,” comprising prominent past and present members of the party.

The Niger Rescue Movement which is also made up of some former Commissioners and Special advisers in the administration of incumbent Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago claims to have the support of “elders of the state, men and women”.

Ditching the All Progressives Congress which has been in power in the state for over 11 years, the NRM said it was taking the people of the state to the main opposition party in the country, the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
