Senator representing Imo West and former Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has warned that the All Progress Congress (APC) might lose power in 2023 if the internal crisis within the ranks of the party’s leadership continues.

The Nation reports that Okorocha who gave the warning on Saturday, November 2, in Kano state, cited the feud between the APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomole and Governor Godwin Obasaki of Edo state as one of the internal crisis rocking the party.

The senator said a political party should be a group of people who share common political interests and beliefs. He noted that the existence of a persistent internal crisis in any party showed that the said party does not have a common ideology among its members.

He called on Oshiomole and Obasaki to reconcile their differences, noting that a party that is divided can never stand.

He said the APC which rode to victory in the 2015 elections on the credibility of Muhammadu Buhari seems to have no alternative in the same manner that will drive the party to victory in 2023. He said the party needs to show purposeful leadership to avoid losing power after Buhari tenure ends in 2023.
