“Things have started falling apart in APC” – Prof. Alkali

According to a former adviser to the immediate past President, Goodluck Jonathan,- things have began to go sideways in the new ruling party, the All Progressives Congress.

Prof. Rufai Alkali, who was once a Special Adviser on Political Affairs to Jonathan, said “the greatest obstacle” to the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, will be his party and its leaders.

Alkali stated this in a statement made available to journalists in Abuja, on Sunday, June 14.

He was reacting to the controversy currently trailing last week’s election of National Assembly leaders.

“The greatest obstacle to the Muhammadu Buhari administration is not the PDP and other political parties, but some of the overambitious leaders and members of his party, the APC, who believe they have invested so much in his election and cannot wait a day longer to collect returns from their investments.”

“I have observed with keen interest the scenario in the National Assembly that resulted in the election of Senator Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara and other leaders of NASS.

“What attracted my attention more, though not surprising, were the  incoherent and contradictory responses from the leaders of the APC, especially the faction led by the former Governor of Lagos State, Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu, who outright rejected the outcome of the election, and without decorum, blamed President Muhammadu Buhari as being responsible for the debacle in the National Assembly.

“This is indeed a clear confirmation of my earlier warning to the APC to plan more and talk less. Undoubtedly, things have started falling apart in the APC.”
