THE membership revalidation and registration exercise of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, across the country is being assailed by knotty issues, controversies and crises.
Suspicion among leaders, battle for territorial control, alleged attempts to whittle down the influence of some founding pillars of the APC, and weed out disgruntled people from the party among other issues have made the exercise a war of sorts being fought on many fronts.
Currently, the exercise has been fraught with complaints and crisis in many states including Kwara, Delta, Rivers and Imo.
It’s beginning to look like the the ongoing membership revalidation exercise by the All Progressives Congress might turn out a misadventure, writes Chuks Okocha
The All Progressives Congress (APC) membership registration is enmeshed in crises in many states of the federation – starting from Osun, Delta, Kwara, Rivers and Imo States among others that are yet to manifest the inherent crisis. Many party chieftains have queried the rationale for the exercise, describing it as a civilian coup to hijack the party by President Muhammadu Buhari’s men against Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his team.
Many others have equally described the revalidation exercise as the road to self-destruct by the party. They likened the exercise to the crisis that would befall the APC and eventually weakens the party to the extent that the centre would no longer hold thereafter.
