A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has described the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as a party in disarray, alleging deepening internal crises across several states.
Speaking on Channels Television on Wednesday, Momodu said the APC’s recent public engagements and political manoeuvres were attempts to mask growing instability within its ranks.
“It is obvious the ruling party is jittery, and that is why they are going all out, frenetically, to try to showcase and pretend that all is well,” he said.
“But if you read the news today, you will see that the APC is indeed a house of commotion.”
The media entrepreneur-turned-politician pointed to reported disputes in states including Benue and Zamfara as evidence of internal fractures.

According to him, the disagreements reflect a broader struggle for control and influence within the party ahead of future electoral contests.
“From Benue to Zamfara and so many other places, they are fighting themselves like babies fighting for lollipops,” he added, employing a vivid metaphor to underscore what he described as immature political infighting.
Momodu’s remarks come amid heightened political activity nationwide, as parties begin early positioning ahead of upcoming elections.
While the APC has maintained that it remains united and focused on governance, opposition figures have continued to question the party’s internal cohesion.
Political observers note that intraparty disputes are not uncommon in Nigeria’s evolving democratic landscape, particularly in large parties with diverse interests and power blocs.
However, public criticisms such as Momodu’s add to the growing debate over stability within the ruling party.
