The internal crisis strangling the All Progressives Congress (APC) Nationally is becoming a cause of worry.
The National leader of the party Adams Oshiomole has not been doing enough to keep the party as one fold.
As at the time of this writing, the APC has more than two factions in it fold.
Since the take over of Adams Oshiomole as the party national chairman, there have been not less than three to four defection from the political party.
The different factions in the party are trying to control the party structure at the central while the president is trying to remain as neutral as possible.
Recall that Oshiomole had in the past had political issues with the likes of former governor Ibikunle Amosun and Rochas Okorocha in the past.
Within his years as the party leader, the party has witnessed four defections making the party to loose four states to the opposition.
The governors who defected are Ahmed Abdulfatai of Kwara, Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto, Samuel Ortom of Benue and the most embarrassing defection of all is the recent defection of Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state which is the state of the national chairman.
There is also party crisis in various state chapters of the party which Oshiomole is supposed to address in other not to break the party. There’s an internal party crisis in Edo. Some of the party leaders are still in support of the incumbent governor Obaseki and are vowing to work for him.
The party is facing internal party crisis in Rivers and Ondo respectively.
Forget not that thirteen governors are with the national working committee of the party while Seven governors and some ministers are against them and have tagged themselves reformist against the Oshiomole-Ajimobi leadership.
The trust of the matter is that Oshiomole is not doing enough to keep the body and soul of the party together and all the factions are greedily working tirelessly towards the 2023 general election.
As it stands APC is working against itself do if the party will not mend it internal differences, it may lose it stands and return power to the opposition.
The Director-General of the Progressives Governors Forum, Salihu Lukeman, has commented that the inability of the Adams Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress to amicably resolve disputes, as well as its continuous constitutional breaches, were largely responsible for the current crisis in the party.
Oshiomole on his part trying to act as a godfather is a wrong approach to governance.
The party is also yet to inaugurate a Board of Trustee.
