The internal crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress may affects Tinubu's presidential ambition. As it may not fizzle out any time soon.

The aggrieved factions of the party have shifted their battlefield to court after the national leadership of the party inaugurated state chairmen not in their Caucasus .

Some factions also accused the APC of contempt of court with regard to pending legal matters and warned that the party was headed for an imminent collapse if it failed to resolve the crisis.

These and a many more are the issues rocking the ruling party and might jeopardize the chances of Bola Ahmed Tinubu of becoming the president of Nigeria come 2023.

The national secretary of the APC Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee, John Akpanudoedehe, sworn in 34 state chairmen in Abuja.

The chairmen are believed to have been produced from congresses monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission and the APC Caretaker Committee led by the Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni.

In the wake of the intense disagreements generated by the congresses, the party had set up a national reconciliation committee led by a former governor of Nasarawa State, Senator Abdullahi Adamu.

Setting up a reconciliation committee in the wake of an approaching convention spells doom for the leading candidates of the party, offers from other interested quarters might seem too good to be true in the end.

However, top sources within the pary believed the panel failed to deliver its core mandate as none of the factions had reconciled in their respective states while the party’s national convention which will hold on February 26 draws near.

Reacting to the Thursday event in Abuja, the spokesperson for the Kabiru Marafa-led faction of the APC in Zamfara State, Alhaji Bello Maradun, said the inauguration of the Bello Mattawale faction of the party was a fruitless exercise that could worsen the crisis in the party.

The emergence of different factions within the APC is also a major jeorpady for the party and it's leading candidates, in simpler terms, factional formation is to prove and weigh power in a balanced political tussle.

Maradun said considering the dispute rocking the party in many states of the federation, the inauguration of the party’s state chairmen produced by “favoured factions may lead to the total collapse or disintegration of the party.”
