Senator Abdulahi Adamu, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has stated that the party’s constitution only recognizes serving governors as party leaders at the state level.
He warned that a power struggle between former and current governors in various APC states could hurt the party’s chances in the 2023 elections.
Adamu revealed this on Wednesday during the APC’s 11th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, when he bemoaned the ruling party’s disintegration due to a cold war between serving and retired governors.

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 that former Governors should recognise that the serving governors are the leaders of the party.
The national chairman said where two elephants fight, it is the grass that would suffer, and where serving governors and former governors fight, it is the party that would suffer.
Adamu noted that there was the need for the party to be united at all levels if it does not want to suffer a similar fate like the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) between 2023 and 2014.
