The immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has blasted the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, accusing the party of straying from its founding ideals and fostering poor leadership.
The ex-governor, while addressing a national conference in Abuja on strengthening democracy in Nigeria, labelled the state of governance and opposition in the country as a national emergency.
El-Rufai, who shared the report on his X handle today, expressed concern over the absence of internal democracy and active party structures within the APC.
He lamented that the APC’s founding goals of combating corruption, rebuilding the economy, and enhancing security have been abandoned.
Reacting to El-Rufai’s post, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Public Communications and Media, Daniel Bwala, queried the former governor’s stance, asking if he would have held the same position had he remained in the government or cabinet.
