2023: List of APC states with internal crises [READ]

The ruling All Progressives Congress is currently embroiled in crises in no fewer than 20 states.

The national chairman of the party, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, recently attributed the party’s loss in the 2022 governorship election in Osun state to internal crises.

According to Vanguard, the party is battling internal crises in at least 20 states. The crises mainly resulted from the “unresolved supremacy battles and fallouts of recent party primaries.”

It was gathered that aggrieved members have not sheathed their swords despite President Muhammadu Buhari’s intervention.

While some have left the party for the Peoples Democratic Party and other parties, others remain but may work against the party in the next elections like in the Osun election where party faithful were alleged to have worked against APC.
Below is the list of states where APC is embroiled in internal crises as reported by Vanguard;

Lagos Kano Gombe Kaduna Bauchi Zamfara Kwara Kebbi Ondo Ekiti Ogun Ondo Osun Rivers Cross River Imo Benue Nasarawa Abia Akwa Ibom.

In Lagos, a recent attempt to resolve the crisis proved abortive after which a report claimed that the state deputy governor, Obafemi Hamzat, was assaulted in an ensuing free for all fight.

The deputy governor, however, debunked the report claiming he and others were beaten up in a free for all fight at the APC secretariat.

The report had claimed that the deputy governor and some senior members of the Lagos state chapter of the All Progressives Congress were beaten up by aggrieved political miscreants during a reconciliation meeting at the party’s secretariat in Ogba.

However, in a statement released on Wednesday, July 27, the Office of the Deputy Governor described the report as “untrue, mischievous, fake and unfounded”.

In Abia, Senator Adamu, the APC national chairman just inaugurated an eight-member Reconciliation Committee. Adamu expressed optimism that with the inauguration of the committee, there would be peace in APC Abia.
