Buhari's Loyalists Back Atiku, Exit APC for ADC
Loyalists of former President Muhammadu Buhari have declared their support for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, signaling a rift within the APC. The declaration was made during a private meeting in Abuja, where members of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) expressed their backing for Atiku.
The move is seen as an attempt to reshape Nigeria's political landscape by aligning with the African Democratic Congress (ADC). The CPC loyalists accused the current administration of deviating from the ideals that brought the APC to power in 2015.
This shift highlights the changing political dynamics and alliances ahead of the 2023 elections.
