APC congresses sabotaged by selfish members — Tinubu

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said the state congresses of the party were disrupted by those who still sought to impose their will on the majority.
Tinubu stated this in an advertorial titled, ‘APC congresses: Why We Are Here’ on Saturday.
Saying the party had to hold congresses to remain true to its name and principles, the ex-governor added that there were those within  the party who came to disdain the notion of congresses and democracy.
He said, “These are not evil people. But a blindness occasioned by their singular pursuit of self-interests caused them to seek to divert the party and its democratic ways. They tried to scuttle congresses and to anoint themselves that they might retain their various positions beyond the agreed term. They sought to do this without recourse to the will of party members who first voted them into their positions.’’
