The All Progressives Congress (APC) has rejected ex-governor Nasir El-Rufai’s allegation of autocratic leadership, citing broad representation across Nigeria’s geopolitical zones.
Imo Governor Hope Uzodimma emphasized inclusivity during a caucus meeting with President Bola Tinubu, highlighting governors from Lagos, Sokoto, and Edo as evidence.
The APC defended its democratic processes, crediting electoral wins to internal mechanisms and the newly launched Progressive Institute for policy research.
Uzodimma praised Tinubu’s security strides, citing improved safety in Zamfara and the Southeast.
The party plans a National Executive Council meeting to address reforms, countering claims of centralized control.
