In a surprising development, immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari, the former Governor of Kaduna state, Nasiru El-Rufai, and Rotimi Ameachi former minister of transportation allegedly boycotts the just concluded APC National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting held at the party headquarters in Abuja.
The three key figures also snub the national caucaus meeting held at the presidential yesterday.
The meetings, convened to discuss strategic planning ahead of upcoming elections, proceeded without these top figures, raising questions about internal party unity.
The absence of influential leaders such as President Buhari, Governor El-Rufai, and Ameachi has drawn attention and speculation among party members and political observers alike. What happened?
Party insiders suggest that this move could indicate deeper disagreements over policy direction and electoral strategies.
As the APC navigates this internal challenge, the absence of these senior leaders may have lasting implications on party cohesion and its ability to present a unified front in forthcoming political contests.
It could be recalled both El Rufai and Amaechi made bold statement on the Nigerian polity recently, where the former described some leaders as illiterates in politics, while later said “Nigerian politicians in office can kill, steal and maim to remain in power.
Despite internal disputes, the party leadership emphasized the need for unity and discipline moving forward.
