The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu has cautioned that there is an ongoing ego war in the party capable of tearing it apart.
Senator Adamu who spoke on Wednesday at the 11th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the APC lamented that there is a cold war between serving Governors and ex-Governors about the party leadership at state levels.
He cautioned that it is simply an ego war but if not tackled, it is a big threat to the fortunes of the party going into the 2023 general elections.
The APC Chairman however threw his weight behind serving Governors, pointing out that they are the ones recognized by the party’s constitution as party leaders at the state level.
He urged those involved in such leadership tussle to settle their differences.
His words: “The problem today is a battle between serving State governors and their predecessors. It is a battle of ego. We can’t let this continue because it constitutes a threat to the party.”
He said if the party is not united going into the 2023 election, then it may suffer the same fate that befell the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the 2015 elections.
Meanwhile, the ruling All Progressives Congress on Wednesday fixed its presidential nomination and expression of interest forms at ₦100 million.
The national publicity secretary of the party, Felix Morka revealed this after the 11th National Executive Meeting in Abuja.
APC noted that the nomination form would go for ₦70 million while expression of interest forms would go for ₦30 million.
The party’s forms for governorship aspirants cost ₦50 million; Senate, ₦20 million; House of Representatives, ₦10 million and State Houses of Assembly, ₦2 million.
Morka said women are entitled to free nomination forms but will pay for their expression of interest forms.
