APC have separated and divided themselves into groups that would only support one of their members to become the next president in 2023.
Buba Galadima, a former close ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, has said there are irreconcilable differences in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The national political figure expressed this on Wednesday when he featured on African Independent Television (AIT) programme ‘Focus Nigeria’.
Galadima spoke about the ability of the ruling party to reach a consensus on its candidate for the 2023 presidential election.
He said members of the APC have separated and divided themselves into groups that would only support one of their members to become the next president in 2023.
He stated further that four members of the political party, two each from the north and south, have made an agreement to support each other.
“The APC is divided into three major groups, in fact, three and a half. Seven, seven, five governors. They don’t see eye to eye. Each of the groups would rather support a fellow to be president of Nigeria than to allow the other group to be,” he said.
“So, we’re watching them. And it’s God that is catching them. Because if you allow them to be together, it will be difficult for you to take government from them. That is why they’re busy recruiting new people all over and distancing themselves from their own original comrades.
“There was a written agreement between four people, two from the north, two from the south-west. They have agreed to help each other. There was that written agreement and an agreement is an agreement, whether written or not, it must be respected, or else you invite the wrath of God. Whether the other people from south-west can win or not, these people from this part of the country must support them. That is the agreement.”
Galadima added that, unlike the APC, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is capable of reaching an agreement.
“So if PDP has any problem, it is one percent of what is buried in the APC. They can sit down and agree over a cup of tea, but the APC can never sit down in an ocean and agree on who should be the candidate. I am telling you the differences are irreconcilable because I should know,” Galadima said.
