President Muhammadu Buhari has accused the media of wasting time on the crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Although the APC has been battling different crisis, things took the worse turn when Governor Sani Bello of Niger State assumed leadership in the absence of Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State, who went on a medical vacation.

Governor Nasir El-Rufai had said Buhari ordered the replacement of Buni, claiming that 19 APC governors were with Bello.

Similarly, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State described his counterparts who are supporting Buni as “Yahoo Yahoo governors”.

In the outgoing week, no issue dominated the polity like the APC crisis.

Daily Trust had reported how anti-Buni and those supporting the Yobe governor shifted the battle ground to London, where Buhari is on medical grounds.

In a statement Garba Shehu, his spokesman, issued on his behalf, Buhari asked the media to pay less attention to the ruling party crisis.

“President Muhammadu Buhari warns the leaders (and membership) of the All Progressives Party (APC) to desist from name-calling and backstabbing ahead of the oncoming March 26 Convention, remain steadfast and maintain its unity if the party is to continue in the path of victory and its dominance at all levels throughout the country.

“President Buhari asks the members to look at the once-powerful, “main opposition” Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) now enfeebled and adrift and learn lessons in disunity, mismanagement and corruption.
”They failed in 16 years in power and a failure as opposition.

”“Yes, we are entitled to our own share of dissent and intra-party discord. These are common in all parties, left and right all over the world.

”But parties splintered by competing egos destine themselves to the worst possible fate,” the President warned.

”As the country prepares for the long run up to the 2023 presidential election, we all expect a robust debate on the issues that matter and what is going in the APC should be a reflection of this, not the infighting we are seeing. There must be no more distractions ahead of the convention to choose new leaders.”

“This is a party that has been in existence barely for eight years, becoming the dominant party because it has thrown open its doors to defectors from other parties, big and small.”

On media coverage, the president said, “It is equally clear that over the last week or so, the internal management affairs of the APC have been afforded generous media coverage – over and above its importance to the voters of Nigeria.

“It is important to ask what benefits the poor are getting during the period of intense negative coverage. When precisely the party’s convention is held and who is the party’s chairman is hardly a matter for the average voter: vastly more important is who convention delegates will elect as the party’s flagbearer in the coming weeks to take forward the party’s platform to the people in the general election in February next year.

“It is therefore important for the media to put such matters into perspective. No-one is debating policy differences here. That is for the general election. None of the declared aspirants and any of those that may step forward will change because of who may be in the party in the chairman’s seat. It is essentially the same party.

“Of course the media are welcome to comment on the content of the character of the potential APC candidates; discuss their suitability for leadership; scrutinize their offer to the membership. But to focus on the routine internal divisions and magnify them into what they have become today is a waste of everyone’s time, amounting to no more than a discussion over seating arrangements.

“This is not what Nigerians talk of in their communities. They have an inclination only for things that matter.”

They still have the option to convene it in 7 days.

Emergency 7 day would be like next week Saturday 19th

The current crisis that brewed heavily is bad recipe to call for an emergency convention meeting next week

They need days to weeks to talk, those governor's calling themselves Yahoo Yahoo would have to meet (buhari that should bring them together would return on that very 19th and need rest)

Don't forget buhari is eyeing consensus national chairman which some are against, if you don't pacify all this it would blow up in the convention

APC get rule abi dem dey obey law, even with SAN VeePee.
supporter of APC party.

Buhari is the worst thing that happened to Nigeria.

I dey dat free stuff wey dey post useless thing about Tinubu here.

Truth be told, in this case, only few professional media platforms helped APC to understand the danger and severity of falling prey to the convention-phobic elements who almost supplanted the President's wish.

Those were few professional platforms like ThisDay Newspaper and they remain my hero and quite exceptional.

Other platforms and bloggers were peddling fake news while a platform like sun newspaper was perpetually calling for endless postponement of the convention and in an unprofessional manner, turned to be the spokesman of their principal, Senator OUK

This democacy is worth protecting and safeguarding jealously. Let us support our democracy please.

All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. May God bless Nigeria for ever.

Meanwhile, on the mandate of Asiwaju Tinubu I stand.

Please support the BAT 2023 winning team and vote for Asiwaju Tinubu.

Asiwaju Tinubu is extremely brilliant, visionary, capable and competent to lead Nigeria to greater heights.
Please support Asiwaju Tinubu.
Thank you.

Lol. Bubu sef

Left the meat of the matter and started gnawing at bones

I don't blame him though. The media brought this upon themselves, chief among the culprits being ThisDay and Channels who went about like propagandists announcing the removal of Buni by Buhari without official confirmation from the President himself. They reduced themselves to a gossip blog instead of a professional journalism outfit and now that the bubble has burst, they are being made the sacrificial lamb.

Oya o media houses. SInce you have been rebuked for being so unruly and overheating the policy by chooking your mouth where no concern you, kindly focus on the rising inflation, fuel scarcity, insecurity, dwindling economy, power outage etc. Bubu said so.

U no listened to El-Rufai hypocrite.

I don't listen to idiots

Buhari play this game I swear

He plotted with buni to give Bello illegal mandate and scruttle the 14 days deadline for proclamation

If he wasn't doing this on purpose how come he fixed his return date on 19th
