A former Special Adviser on Political Affairs to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Prof. Rufai Alkali has described the All Progressives Congress as a sinking ship that is gradually falling apart.
He also added that the leaders of the party will a problem for President Muhammadu Buhari.
Alkali, in a statement in Abuja said “The greatest obstacle to the Muhammadu Buhari administration is not the Peoples Democratic Party and other political parties, but some of the over-ambitious 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 Hon. Yakubu Dogara and other leaders of the National Assembly.
“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, Bola Tinubu, who 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.”
Alkali confirmed that the Peoples Democratic party is still active, he said “Whoever said that the PDP is dead and buried should please show me the cemetery and the grave where the PDP was buried.
“Nigerians should not forget the fact that some of the members of the PDP who joined the APC went there as a result of some circumstances but the souls and minds of most of them are still in the PDP.
“Remember, most of those who left were founding fathers and senior leaders of the PDP in their respective states and zones. This is therefore just the beginning of the beginning.”
