It seems there will continue to be crises in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). This followed a disclosure by the director-general of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, Salihu Lukman.

According to him, the current leadership of the party led by Mai Mala Buni, is making the same mistake made by Adams Oshiomhole-led leadership.

He insisted that the same situation in which there is no meeting of the organs of the party is playing out under the Yobe state governor-led APCCECC.
