A former presidential candidate and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dele Momodu, has criticised the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) under President Bola Tinubu, describing its recent actions as “careless” and self-destructive.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television on Monday, April 14, evening, Momodu expressed disbelief over the Tinubu administration’s apparent attacks on former President Muhammadu Buhari, whom he described as the party’s “biggest brand.”
“I believe the APC under Tinubu has been quite careless. How does a political party wake up and start attacking their biggest brand, Buhari? How does a president wake up and start attacking his immediate predecessor from the same political party?” Momodu questioned.
His remarks come amid a flurry of high-profile visits to Buhari’s residence in Kaduna.
Last Friday, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar led a delegation of political leaders including former governors Nasir el-Rufai and Aminu Tambuwal, as well as former Minister Isa Pantami to meet with the former president.
Later that same day, the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, led members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) to pay a visit to Buhari at the same location.
