President Buhari must deal with OVERAMBITIOUS APC Members – El Rufai

Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El Rufai has advised the President Buhari to deal with overambitious APC members who are already scheming ahead of the 2023 elections.

According to El Rufai, the internal crisis rocking the party is due to the members who couldn’t even wait for the second tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari to take off.

His words:

“there were a lot of internal crises in the APC; those crises had nothing to do with the 2019 elections; they were all about positioning for 2023. You know politicians can be very strategic; as illiterate as some of them can be, they are very strategic, they can think far ahead of you.

So, those 2023 aspirations had been busy at work, creating pockets of support that had unintended consequences. I can mention a few states that we lost because of these kinds of aspirations. Some of the things led to unintended consequences and we paid for it.

It is my view that President Muhammadu Buhari must be firm and decisive in dealing with these overambitious elements that will make his second term difficult from day one unless curtailed. The President has to be very decisive in dealing with such people.”
