APC HITS BACK AT TAMBUWAL OVER ALLEGATIONS AGAINST PRESIDENT TINUBU

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has responded to allegations made by former Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, accusing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC of plotting to destabilize opposition parties in the country. In a statement signed by Felix Morka, National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Morka described Tambuwal’s claims as baseless and lacking in substance.

Morka said Tambuwal’s allegations were part of a larger trend of opposition leaders making unsubstantiated claims against the President and the APC. “By their inert and lackluster engagement, it is now clear to Nigerians that the present crop of opposition leaders have lost focus, assuming they ever had any, aside from their compulsive and obsessive crave for power and patronage that feed their huge ego and greed,” Morka said.

Morka specifically mentioned other opposition leaders, including Atiku Abubakar, Nasir El-Rufai, Peter Obi, and Rotimi Amechi, saying they have failed to provide leadership and direction to their parties. “How can anyone take present day opposition leaders seriously as capable of leading Nigeria at this high-stakes moment in our nation’s history when they have proved so grossly incapable of leading their parties?” Morka asked.

Morka also responded to Tambuwal’s suggestion that his recent arrest and ongoing investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was politically motivated. “Tambuwal must believe that his status as an opposition politician confers some kind of immunity from investigation or prosecution by anti-corruption agencies,” Morka said.

Morka assured that the APC is focused on governance and will continue to strengthen its internal democratic systems to serve Nigerians better. “As a Party, we will continue to strengthen our internal democratic systems to stand stronger, and serve Nigerians better, while as a government, President Tinubu remains resolute and focused on rebuilding generationally neglected foundations of our economic life and repositioning the country for sustainable progress,” Morka said.
