I Am Worried PDP May Take Over Government Again...

President Buhari has expressed worry over the
lingering leadership crisis among members of the
ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in the
National Assembly.
Speaking on “Good Morning Nigeria”, a
programme aired on NTA, on Monday, the
president said he did not want to be seen as
interferring in the internal affairs of another
branch of government.
“I have to be very sensitive to the constitution of
the country. I do not like to be told by anybody,
especially the legislators, that I am interferring in
their matter. There are three arms of government
—Executive, legislature and the judiciary.”
“Over the last 16 years, they have developed the
system of choosing their leaders. There is no
way I can directly interfere. All I can do through
the party is to appeal to their conscience that
what I already observed, we should go over it as
soon as possible."

        “When I say ‘WE’, I mean the APC. We cannot

win the battle and lose the war. We must not

allow individual personal ambition to succeed in

dividing us and allow the Peoples Democratic

Party (PDP) to deal with us. This is what the

National Assembly has allowed so far.”

“The APC is giving the PDP allowance to take

over the government again. This is extremely

disheartening, I am very worried,” the president

said expressing his frustration.

“The only thing I can do is to appeal to the

conscience of the APC members in the Senate

and House. It took us time to get to where we

are. I don’t want personal ambitions to scuttle

our success and, therefore, fail to deliver on our

promises to the nation.”
