Adamu Garba, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says sycophants around President Bola Tinubu are misleading him about the state of the country and the party.

The former senator spoke on Tuesday during his appearance on ‘Politics Today,’ a programme on Channels Television.

Garba said Abdullahi Ganduje’s resignation as the national chairman of the APC has exposed the party to attacks from a coalition of opposition elements under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

He described the coalition as “vultures” seeking to exploit the ruling party’s internal challenges.

“They (ADC coalition) hope for our loss, and that is why we need to be serious,” the former senator said.

“That is the more reason why we need to be very sincere with ourselves and make sure that the leadership of the party is somebody that is truthful and capable of listening to criticisms and accepting the facts without any flattery, without any sycophancy, because I believe there are a lot of sycophants around the president; people are telling him that things are okay—things are not okay.”

Garba said APC’s popularity in the north started dwindling after the late former President Muhammadu Buhari left office in 2023.

“Naturally, there is going to be this kind of tension,” he said.

“Buhari left the presidency in 2023, and when you look at the outcome of the 2023 elections, the APC had only 5.5 million votes in the north. Where were the 12 million votes?

“But yet we won the election based on the system that was established, the structures in place, and the strategies deployed.

“What we need now is to re-engineer our strategies again now with his absence.”
