In a striking critique of the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership in Kaduna, former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, accused local party officials of misleading President Bola Tinubu. Dogara's comments highlight increasing tensions within the APC, as party loyalty is questioned amidst rising insecurity and political discontent in the region. He stated, “Those around Tinubu in Kaduna want him to fail, and they are not telling him the truth," suggesting a disconnect between the president's inner circle and the grassroots realities.
The APC has faced significant challenges in Kaduna, with rising violence and economic instability eroding public trust. Dogara's assertion suggests that internal factions may be prioritizing personal agendas over collective party success. This could exacerbate the already fraught political landscape, where effective governance is critical for Tinubu's administration.
Looking ahead, Tinubu must navigate these internal divisions carefully while addressing security concerns that plague Kaduna. If he fails to receive honest feedback from his advisors, the potential for political setbacks looms large, jeopardizing not just his presidency but the APC's future in the region.
