A former aide to President Muhammadu Buhari on National Assembly Matters, Suleiman AbduRahman Kawu Sumaila, has said that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), is pitiable without a sitting president.
Kawu Sumaila who was a Minority Whip in the House of Representatives and also a member of the APC, stated that the party is only enjoying the availability of a sitting President in the person of President Muhammadu Buhari, which is what makes the party strong and viable today.
Abdurrahman Kawu Sumaila cautioned that “the vulnerability of the All Progressives Congress without a President will be dangerous due to internal wriggling”.
we have more crises in APC than the opposition PDP but since we have a sitting president who everybody respects, we have managed ours, but I pity APC without a sitting president, more specifically, President Buhari”.
“PDP is experiencing the bitter side of the opposition which we tested for almost 16 years”, he added.
This is coming as 2023 general elections approaches, with the ruling APC, fighting to retain the presidential seat which they took from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), in 2015.
