Baraje to Buhari: Save APC from Meeting Its Waterloo like PDP
A chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji
Abubakar Kawu Baraje, today advised President Muhammadu Buhari to guide against destroyers in the party in order not to allow the ruling party
fall victim of what led to the downfall of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Baraje also counseled the president to 'shine his
eyes' and save the party from the hands of a few people who think they are more
important than every other member of the party.
Speaking with journalists in Ilorin, the Kwara State
capital, yesterday on the state of the nation, Baraje lamented that factors
that led to the factionalisation of the PDP and its eventual collapse were
gradually creeping into APC.
He noted that impunity, lawlessness and divisive
tendencies which led to the downfall of the PDP now reign supreme in the APC.
The former PDP chieftain said the aforementioned
vices were being promoted by a few self-centred leaders of the APC, and
admonished Buhari to start playing politics so that the APC would not suffer
the PDP's fate.
The APC chieftain expressed reservation over the
ways and manners the ruling party is being run, noting that this has resulted
in APC losing in many of the states where rerun elections had taken place.
He warned that if care was not taken, the "PDP
may take over the control of the two chambers of the National Assembly."
Baraje added that: "There are many distractions.
President Buhari's government has brighter idea on how to turn around the fortune
of Nigeria, but a lot of things went wrong before APC came in as the ruling
party.
"Most of the distractions were created by APC
itself. For instance, the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, who heads an
important arm of government is not getting the necessary support from the party
because a few people think they are more important than others.
"What led to the factionalisation of PDP is
gradually creeping into APC; the dragon of impunity is creeping into the party.
