Setting the Record Straight: CPC Bloc's Continued Commitment to APC:

The spokesman of the fringe ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, is merely playing politics and giving misleading impressions in a bid to galvanize support. However, by engaging in such deceitful tactics, he has unwittingly incurred the wrath of the authentic and genuine members of the defunct CPC bloc within the APC.

Undoubtedly, the leader of the CPC bloc is Senator Tanko Umaru Al-Makura—and no one else. We have unequivocally and irrevocably resolved to remain in the APC and support the bold reforms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Bolaji Abdullahi is not a member of the CPC bloc, nor was he part of late President Muhammadu Buhari’s inner political circles. Therefore, he lacks the standing to speak on our behalf.

It is important to clarify that the impression created by Bolaji Abdullahi in the Punch Newspaper edition of 17 June 2027 titled "2027 Tensions: Buhari's CPC Bloc May Leave APC" is not only misleading—it is demonstrably false.

How can Bolaji Abdullahi suggest that Isah Patami, Rotimi Amaechi, and Rauf Aregbesola are Buharists? These individuals have never been Buharists—ideologically or otherwise. Apart from Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who was a member of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, Rotimi Amaechi only joined the APC in May 2014 when he defected from the PDP. He was never a member of the defunct CPC, nor a Buharist at any point between 1999 and 2014.

Isah Patami merely benefited from President Buhari’s political benevolence. He was unknown in Buhari’s political circles until his appointment as Director General of the National Information Technology Development Agency and later as Minister. Therefore, all those mentioned by Bolaji Abdullahi were, at best, President Buhari’s political appointees. It is misleading to create the impression or assume that everyone who served in his cabinet or was appointed by him was a loyalist or Buharist.

Before his passing, President Muhammadu Buhari strongly reaffirmed his continued membership in the APC and expressed great appreciation to the party that gave him the opportunity to serve as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria—twice.

It is disheartening that, in this solemn period of national mourning, individuals like Bolaji Abdullahi and his cohorts of political desperados would begin to use his name in vain.

Anything to collect the usual monthly 30k stipend. I understand.

Same man who attacked and insulted Buhari while alive for dropping him due to corruption charges is now claiming to be CPC. Anyways, the fact that Tinubu's fiercest opponents today were in the APC should tell you that there's no pathway to his re-election. He has lost voters and has not gained enough to make up for the lost votes. Don't forget he won with the slimmest margin of victory ever in the history of the country.

When you realize that:

- On his own without Buhari, with all his structure built for over 20 years, Tinubu has only a little above 2 million supporters.

- On his own, without a single political structure, Peter Obi has over 6 million supporters.

Stories. These ones are just trying to save face. CPC has already left APC in the mud.
