Former Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Political Matters Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has said that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, is not a party for the people.
Speaking on Tuesday during an interview on ‘Politics Today’ a programme on Channels Television monitored by DAILY POST, Baba-Ahmed said APC is a party of the office holder
He said, “I’m afraid my thinking is quite different. People tend to think that because the APC has almost all the states, it has the country. No, it doesn’t.
“Governors, Senators, members of House of Representatives have all defected from their original party into the APC.
“The APC is the party that is dominant in the country, yet, it is very far away from the people. You have to ask yourself ‘what’s the phenomenal behind this’? As we speak, we have over 20 governors in the APC
“The APC is a party of the office holder, it’s not necessarily the party of the people. There’s a difference between the two.”
