The All Progressives Congress (APC) may fail woefully come 2023 General Election in Nigeria, going by the number of crisis bedevilling the party both at the Federal and State levels.Today a court suspends the national chairman Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as a climax of the series of in fighting between Oshiomhole and his party faithfuls in recent times.
First and foremost is the feud between the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole and the Incumbent Governor of his home state Edo Gabriel Obaseki. If not nipped in the bud quickly APC mighty lose Edo State to People's Democratic party (PDP) in the next gubernatorial election. The APC Governors forum sometime ago called for his resignation. He bluntly refused.
Again as a result of the fall out from the Bayelsa State gubernatorial election at the Supreme court recently where APC lost to PDP at the Apex court the blame has been heaped at the foot of the Party National Chairman Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. It was believed that the party secretariat did not carry out proper documentation prior to the gubernatorial primaries.Today the party again lost the governorship seat to PDP.
Fillers coming in from the Presidency shows that the crack in Aso Rock is yet to abate between the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno and the Chief of Staff Abba Kyari as President Mohammad Buhari has given Babagana Monguno a new appointment as the co-chair of the Humanitarian and Rehabilitation Ministry. I guess the post of National Security Adviser will be taken away from him, without addressing the pertinent issues raised in Monguno's leaked memo.And the subsequent order by the Army Chief of Staff General Buratai of the sudden redeployment of army officers serving in the office of the National Security Adviser. One may want to ask why? Is the army chief taking sides?
In recent times the first lady Aisha Buhari had on several occasions protested that her husband is not in charge of the Government, that the governance had been hijacked by people who did not campaign for election with them. Remember the outbursts in the Presidential villa sometime ago by the First lady Aisha Buhari about the quit notice to one of the cabals and his daughters to vacate an apartment in the Villa solely reserved for the immediate family of the President and not for an acquaintance. Can you remember ? There was even a leaked video that went viral to back it up. Acquaintances are not directly related to the President should not be allocated any combo so close to the Presidential family wing.
Nigerians should seriously take another critical look at Babagana Monguno's leaked memo to the President and file it away somewhere for safe keeping. We may need to refer to it in the near future.
Another issue is the party's meddlesomeness in the Judiciary, first the former Chief Judge of the Federation Onoghen was removed unceremoniously by the President and replaced by a Sharia court Judge Tanko. Ever since then the Judiciary has been hijacked and in a topsy turvy situation, especially the Supreme Court, the Apex court is so confused that it has gone from one review of judgements to reversal of judgement ever since.
The incessant calls by well-meaning Nigerians for the immediate retirement of the military service chiefs and the response of the Secretary to the Federal Government saying that is not the solution to our state of insecurity , may I ask Boss Mustapha what is the real solution? The resurgence of Boko Haram that had so to say "technically been defeated" are still rampaging and are occupying about 6 local government areas in Northeast of the country. The so called service chiefs are surely milking our resources through these fathom fight against the so called insurgents.
What about the Fulani Herdsmen, whom the military always escort and protect while attacking innocent citizens. If you are in doubt ask the Governors of Benue State, Ortom and Delta State, Okowa.
APC is like a time bomb waiting to explode.
To be continued....
