APC chieftain Ibrahim Idris from Niger State has appealed to President Bola Tinubu and party chairman Nentawe Yilwatda to intervene urgently in the party’s growing internal crisis.
Idris’ Warning
He said the party is fracturing because a few individuals are pursuing their own interests at the expense of the collective.
According to Idris, former commissioners, ex‑political appointees, serving lawmakers and grassroots leaders are considering leaving the APC because they feel sidelined and ignored.
“As it stands today, if the President and the National Chairman fail to intervene swiftly, I doubt if there will be anything substantial left of the APC in Niger State after 2027,” he warned.
He added that the movement to abandon the party would shake its foundation, stressing that politics belongs to the people, not to a single individual.
Idris noted that consultations are already underway with community leaders, political stakeholders and grassroots supporters across the state.
