A fresh crisis is threatening to hit the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, National Working Committee, NWC, over the decision to retract a ‘draft letter’ written to its presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Recall that a leaked letter that went viral had emerged online on Thursday suggesting all is not well within the ruling party.
In the leaked letter, the APC National Chairman accused Tinubu of breaching the agreement he had with the NWC with regard to the composition of the presidential campaign council.
Adamu said the presidential candidate is operating solo whereas winning elections is supposed to be a collaborative effort.
However, the APC, in a swift reaction, denied any letter originated from the chairman to the presidential candidate on such an issue.
The denial was contained in a statement on Thursday issued by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Barr. Felix Morka.
According to Morka, there is no disagreement between Adamu and Tinubu neither did the viral letter originate from the party chairman has been alleged.
But Daily Sun reports that the decision of Morka to distance the NWC from the purported letter did not go down well with some members of the party.
A member of the NWC expressed shock over the action of the party’s spokesperson, saying the leadership did not authorise his action
