Abuja - Nigeria’s main opposition party, the All Progressives Congress
(APC) is in serious disarray as key members of the party are leaving in
their droves due to irreconcilable differences with fellow leaders or to
pursue other political ambitions.
The party, which is barely a
year old, has lost no fewer than seven key members of the Joint
Inter-Merger Committee (JIMC), the central body that supervised the
fusion of some hitherto opposition parties, to other political parties,
reports Premium Times.
Since
its formation, those who have left are former Governors Ibrahim
Shekarau (Kano), Attahiru Bafarawa (Sokoto), Ali Modu Sheriff (Borno),
and Achike Udenwa (Imo).
Others
are a former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Chairman
of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission [EFCC], Nuhu Ribadu, a
former Foreign Affairs Minister, Tom Ikimi, a former senator, Annie
Okonkwo and a prominent political leader in Edo State, Osagie Ise-Iyamu.
