APC Faces Defections and Criticism Over Tinubu's Leadership
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is facing defections and criticism, particularly from influential northern politicians, over Bola Tinubu's leadership. Senator Kabiru Marafa, a former lawmaker from Zamfara Central, resigned from the APC along with his political structure, citing sustained injustice, mistrust, and marginalization in Zamfara State.
Marafa highlighted the state's worsening insecurity, with Zamfara accounting for a significant portion of Nigeria's kidnappings in 2024. The defections from Zamfara and Jigawa States signal growing discontent within the APC, raising concerns of a potential political upheaval ahead of the 2027 general elections.
