Kayode Fayemi, the former governor of Ekiti State, has raised alarms about the All Progressives Congress (APC), asserting that the party is straying from its foundational vision. Speaking at a recent event, Fayemi emphasized the gradual erosion of the party's original democratic ideals, suggesting that internal divisions and a departure from core values are undermining its unity and effectiveness.
The APC, which has been in power since 2015, faces increasing scrutiny as it approaches the 2027 elections. Fayemi's concerns echo sentiments shared by various party members who feel that the focus has shifted from governance to political survival. "We must return to our principles if we are to regain the trust of the electorate," Fayemi stated, underscoring the urgency for introspection within the party.
As the APC grapples with these challenges, the question remains whether it can realign itself with its founding principles or if it will continue to drift, potentially jeopardizing its future electoral prospects. The party's ability to navigate this internal crisis will be crucial as it prepares for the upcoming election cycle.
