I Dumped APC Because Tinubu Can't Think Straight - Naja'atu Bala
The former director, who hails from Kano Municipal Local Government Area, was a former lead campaigner of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC). She however said she decided to stop supporting Tinubu because he “hardly thinks straight.”
In her words, “Yes, I am no longer supporting him (Tinubu); that is why I left the party. A lot has changed. He can hardly think straight. I am very sure of that. You can see his clips.
“I have transcended religious, tribal, or regional sentiments, so I can’t afford to look at things with that narrow premise. I think it is not only irresponsible, it is criminal because we have succeeded in dividing this country for selfish reasons. We can’t continue like that. We need to move our country forward. That is my reason. I have nothing personal against anyone.”
In a letter dated January 19, 2023, addressed to the APC national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, and seen by CityNews, the former director of the APC campaign stated she left because of recent developments in the country’s political and democratic space.
