BREAKING: Why I May Soon Quit APC – Tinubu
A national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governor of Lagos state, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has threatened to quit the party.
Sources within the national headquarters of the party said Tinubu flew into Abuja earlier in the week to intervene in the crisis brewing over the ward congresses across the country, which affected his interests.
The crisis over the last ward congress in Oyo State took a new turn on Thursday as Tinubu threatened to leave the party if its control in Oyo State is taken from Governor Abiola Ajimobi.
He was said to have passed clear messages to the Presidency and the leadership of the party that he would leave if Ajimobi, his ally, is denied the control.
Party sources said Tinubu felt that he would be losing grip of the South West if Oyo State is taken away.
This is because he controls only three chapters of the party: Lagos, Oyo and Osun States, while forces loyal to the Presidency control Ogun, Ondo and Ekiti States.
The loss of Oyo State will reduce his hold to two states, thereby further eroding his influence in the party.
The APC had been engrossed in crisis since Saturday over its ward congress in Oyo State as party leaders square up against one another to retain or extend their influence.
States like Imo, Kano, Kaduna and Oyo had been most hit, with violence breaking out in many of them.
Pls don’t leave.
This is just the beginning of a trail of pay back time. You cannot abuse GOD’ s children and expect progress. APC, your time is up.
Who’s God children?
God children in USA or where?
To me the best option for our leader is to think like this because the happenings since inception of this administration speaks a lot. In Ogun state where I come from it took the influence of BAT (bola Ahmed Tinubu) for the Lord to took nomination form not to talk of becoming candidate, what is the pay back…… disloyalty
Some people just hear what their neighbours re talking about politics and they use that to form opinion. If not for BAT wouldn’t have been anywhere close to that seat he is holding now. Wait n see the cripple effect when the man leaves the party
Tinubu love Money too much there is no way he will leave. if he threats Presidency they will silence him with another oil well.
His own is just political Economy
Tinubu is thoroughbred politician,he can’t forsake his leadership position because of oilwell
Tinubu should retire and allow younger generation to continue,enough is enough.
Retire from politics or President or governor or from his position in house of rep?
Where is the young generation? The Dino and Yaya?
@OlayinkaSamuel is Tinubu holding any younger one back ? Let us see things the right way and do it right.. Is Buhari the younger one?
BAT is younger than PMB so who should you suggest to retire?
You have not seen anything. The thunder that will fire you is still doing press up. You will not only loose grip politically, but all your ill gotten wealth and infrastructure you illegally built on state properties will be taken from you.
That’s it.
Sir tinubu has worked and still eorking but he should connect witjh Pdp n also join with sdp
Tinubu as being the only standing politician who distinguished himself among others, he singlehandedly install Buhari and some governors,if he leaves the party APC is finished. He is still better by far to other politicians
BAT (Bola Ahmed Tinubu)is the pillar of APC if he pulled out of the party that’s the end of all strange birds that transformed to be called APC.Politics is all about personal interest.Now you can all see that law of Kamar will consume all enemies of this great country called Nigeria.
The beginning of the down fall of APC. Epe Obj nja won!
The question on my mind begging for answer is that where were the henchmen of the presidency wrestling political hegemony with Tinubu between 2003 and 2015 ?
Tinubu should dissipate his political strength elsewhere in 2019 after all he has the right to belong to a political party of his choice
Leave and go Where? Set up another ” mega party like he galvanized what metamorphosis into the present Apc?
It’s all about interests and relevance bah?
The big question Is, at the end of it all, what is in all of this for the common man?
Does it alleviate poverty, hunger,poor infrastructure, health care delivery and eradicate terror in our nation?
I am tired of the bourgeoisie. All the know is to appropriate the commonwealth of this country to themselves and immediate family(dynasties) and close acolytes.
tinubu is a thieving ,gambling ,money cautious politician who acts god just because some uneducated south westerners worship him, his days of irrelevancy begun already… he should deal with and live with it
The headline is confusing and the whole write up is conjectural. The story is based on sources from presidency which may not be true. As at today Ajimobi is in full control of Oyo state. Tinubu is not leaving APC and is not abandoning Buhari. People just pray there would be friction btn them. This would not be.
He understand tha leadership planning so he knew why he said so
Tinubu should know that he is among demonic politicians. It is better for him to quickly decides on where to go and whom to support.
Huuum. This life is a bumpy road. Which way Nigeria? Whatever makes the green leaf turn brown is a process which every leaf at its time must fulfil. GOD BLESS Nigeria.
Tinubu has achieved what he intended to achieve politically. What is expected of him is to resign from being the party spearhead. Afterall, APC is not doing Nigeria any good.
Apc is more or military rule, they don’t respect the laws of the Land, see what Rufai is doing, he has rig the elections held on Saturday. Results announced in media housing instead of inec offices.

Tinubu need a politcal strategist now ? One wrong move now will crumble Tinubu empire.Buhari knows that Tinubu has many skeleton in his cupboard, so he watching Tinubu next move.
