adsKayode Fayemi, Former Ekiti State Governor says he played a key role in helping President Bola Tinubu secure victory in the 2023 presidential election, but warned that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is gradually losing its ideological direction as growing public frustration reshapes Nigeria’s political landscape.
Speaking during an interview on State Affairs, a podcast hosted by Edmund Obilo, Fayemi described the rise of former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi as a political phenomenon that disrupted Nigeria’s traditional power structure and exposed widespread dissatisfaction with mainstream parties.
The former governor said the APC, which he helped build, has drifted away from the progressive ideals that united its founding members ahead of the 2015 elections. According to him, the party is now facing an internal crisis fueled by the absence of ideological debate, weak internal democracy and increasing political exclusion.
“I helped Tinubu to become president, but the APC has lost its bearing, and Peter Obi is a phenomenon,” Fayemi said.
