Former President Muhammadu Buhari’s ex-aide on social media, Lauretta Onochie, has insisted that the All Progressives Congress, APC, has been hijacked by some unwholesome men.
She lamented that some Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, agents planted in the APC are preventing the party from fielding candidates who can win elections.
Posting on X, the former presidential aide said the APC must be recovered from these PDP agents.
According to Onochie: “We are Progressives, for heaven’s sake! This is what happens when a few unwholesome men hijack a political party and dictate who should run, taking that role from the people.
“Why is APC bent on keeping the South South a PDP territory? Each time we have an opportunity to field a winning candidate, PDP agents in APC ensure that APC fields an inferior candidate who does not stand a chance of winning the PDP candidate. It happened in Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa Ibom.
“@OfficialAPCNg must recover our party from traders and work with core progressives in the region to give Nigerians in general and South South in particular, a decent alternative to the messed up PDP.
At the moment, I look at the two political parties and APC is looking more like PDP than a Progressive political party.
“Restructure APC including Women. Work more with Legacy Progressives, sanction rule breakers and then watch how Honourable Nigerians would flock into the party.”
