Interim National Chairman, All Progressive Congress, Chief Bisi Akande
Despite its growing acceptability within the country’s political circle, all appears not to be well with the All Progressives Congress as a crisis over power sharing and control is brewing in the party.

Investigation by Saturday PUNCH showed that the five governors, who defected to the APC from the Peoples Democratic Party, were locked in a supremacy battle with some leaders of the three political parties that merged to form the APC.

The parties that merged to form APC are the Action Congress of Nigeria, All Nigeria Peoples Party and the Congress for Progressive Change.

Saturday PUNCH’s investigations in Abuja on Thursday showed that the looming crisis was threatening the nationwide membership registration, which the party had scheduled for early this year.

To forestall problem, however, the party has set up reconciliation committees in some of the affected states.

The governors, who left the PDP for the APC, included Alhaji Muritala Nyako (Adamawa); Dr. Rabiu Kwankwanso (Kano); Alhaji Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto); Alhaji  Abdufatah Ahmed (Kwara) and Mr. Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers).

 It was gathered that besides the struggle for position between the defected governors and ‘old’ members of the fast growing party, the APC was also contending with various crises in the states it is currently controlling.

  The tussle for power in the APC states is principally between the governors and those who are against their total control of the state party structure.

It was learnt that the problem had manifested in Kwara, Kano, Sokoto and Adamawa states among others.

 Findings showed that the outcome of the party’s reconciliation efforts would determine when the membership registration would hold.

 The defected PDP governors that are said to be   engaged in power struggle with old APC members include Nyako, Kwankanso, Wamakko and Ahmed.

In Kwara State for instance, members of the parties that merged to form the APC have described the leader of the PDP defectors, Senator Bukola Saraki, as a burden instead of an asset to the APC. Saraki is the political godfather of the state governor.

The members are of the opinion that the party does not need Saraki to win elections in the state. A former governorship candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, Mr. Dele Belgore, is the leader of the APC members opposed to Saraki’s take-over of the party.

A leading member of the Belgore group, Rev. Bunmi Olusona,   said this in a statement, in Ilorin on Thursday.

 In the statement titled, “Issues before the John Oyegun mediation committee,”  Olusona stated, “We aver that we do not need Bukola Saraki to win elections in Kwara. In fact, the coming of Bukola Saraki is a huge burden on the Kwara APC.

“We now have a daunting task of convincing Kwarans that we remain a part of their hope for change. Without federal support, Bukola Saraki cannot win any election!

“We will never accept the leadership of Bukola Saraki and we will never accept any arrangement that cedes the party structure to any new entrant into the party.”

Another prominent member of the Belgore group, Dr. Saad Omo-Iya, also explained the group’s stand in an interview with one of our correspondents.

Omo-Iya said, “Saraki is a soloist and (a) despot.  Some of us cannot work with him.  That is why we are in the APC.  Now that he has come to the APC, and it is being speculated that APC has handed over the party structure to him, that means some individuals own that party.

“It equally means that the party is no longer a party.  It is like a property of some individuals. That does not really reflect democracy. Basically, looking at it, you can see that there is no basis for further relations.”

He said that the structure of the party should not be handed over to an individual, adding that registration of members should be free and fair.

TB-J is a real man of God.

APC is a volcano waiting to erupt

I want to see pishure of how it happened... If not mere rumours to set predictions rolling!!!

These are the kinds of interests that PDP has managed for 14 years and its still standing. APC thinks it is childsplay to be a national party managing multi-ethnic, multi-ego issues. We shall see how they fare in a matter of weeks.

APC's implosion is at hand. TB Joshua sef don talk am.

Same ol ish, just a different day
