Attahiru Bafarawa, former
governor of Sokoto State, has said the crisis in the All Progressives Congress,
APC, was due to the plan by its National Leader, Bola Tinubu, to fully control
the party.
Speaking with Guardian, the
former governor also insisted that the “insincerity” of Tinubu and other APC
leaders was responsible for the crisis in the party.
He claimed that shortly after the
APC was registered, “Tinubu decided on admitting erstwhile state governors
elected on the platform of the PDP with the provision that the entire structure
of the new party in their respective states should be handed over to the
newcomers.”
The former presidential aspirant
on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said while the decision
to reward the five defecting PDP governors from Adamawa, Kano, Kwara, Rivers,
and Sokoto with APC structures in their states was taken to strengthen the
party’s financial capacity to match the then ruling political grouping, “It
later became obvious that the ploy was targeted at himself (Tinubu) and Mallam
Ibrahim Shekarau.”
He called on politicians and
leaders to strive all time to do good to all men.
Bafarawa alleged that the
internal movement within the APC “could be a way of rewarding Tinubu for his
style of politics.
“Those who noticed that he
(Tinubu) was cleverly manipulating the party for his own interest seem to be
moving against him.”
