Former Kaduna Governor, Nasir el-Rufai has stated that the gap between him and the All Progressives Congress (APC) is growing wider.
Speaking at a national conference on strengthening democracy in Nigeria in Abuja on Monday, el-Rufai, a prominent figure in the APC, criticized the party for allegedly deviating from its foundational principles and fostering ineffective leadership.
The former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) expressed disappointment that party organs had not convened in two years, accusing the leadership of running the APC like a “one-man show.”
“I am a founding member of the APC, but frankly, I no longer recognize the party. No party organ has met in two years—no caucus, no NEC, nothing. I don’t even know if it’s a one-man show. It’s a zero-man show,” he remarked.
He continued, “Although I’m a founding member, the party has left me behind. We wanted to build a progressive party that would fight corruption, revive the economy, and restore security for Nigerians. That was our goal. But where is the APC now? I no longer recognize it. It’s left me behind. I still believe the primary purpose of political engagement in Nigeria remains to fix the economy, restore security, and fight corruption. But those issues are still unresolved.”
