Kaduna state Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has blamed the
internal crisis in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the build-up to the
2019 general elections, on the desperation of some members who are positioning
themselves ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
El-Rufai made this claim while speaking during an
interactive session with members of The Bridge Club in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The Governor regretted that the APC lost some states to the
opposition, because of the inordinate ambition of some of its members.
He called on President Muhammadu Buhari to take action
against them.
“There were a lot of internal crises in the APC; those
crises had nothing to do with the 2019 elections; they were all about
positioning for 2023.
“You know politicians can be very strategic; as illiterate
as some of them can be, they are very strategic, they can think far ahead of
you.
“So, those 2023 aspirations had been busy at work, creating
pockets of support that had unintended consequences. I can mention a few states
that we lost because of these kinds of aspirations. Some of the things led to
unintended consequences and we paid for it.
“It is my view that President Muhammadu Buhari must be firm
and decisive in dealing with these overambitious elements that will make his
second term difficult from day one unless curtailed. The President has to be
very decisive in dealing with such people,” El-Rufai said.
