Bashir Ahmad, a former media adviser to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is on the verge of collapse.
Ahmad particularly stated that the APC is repeating the mistakes committed by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) between 2011 and 2015.
His comment comes after the Senate declared on Wednesday that Senator Mohamed Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South, had been removed as Chief Whip.
The Senate has also replaced Ndume with Senator Tahir Mungono, representing Borno North.
It was reported that Ndume’s removal followed his recent criticisms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
He had in an interview with journalists last week stated that the President is not in the know of what is happening outside the Aso Villa.
Ndume also alleged that Tinubu was fenced off and caged.
“The government is not doing anything about the food scarcity and it needs to do something urgently. We don’t have a food reserve. There is an unavailability of food. The food crisis is the worst crisis that any nation can encounter. If we add that to a security crisis, it will be severe,” Ndume added.
However, following his removal as the Senate Chief Whip on Wednesday, Ahmad fears that his party might have taken the wrong step.
In a post on his X handle said: “I am afraid that our party, the APC, is on the verge of repeating the mistakes made by the PDP between 2011 and 2015. As a political party, we should be open to welcoming individuals, especially those who can contribute to our electoral success, rather than doing the opposite.”
