Dele Momodu, a former presidential candidate and leader of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria’s primary opposition party, has said that President Bola Tinubu’s All Progressives Congress (APC) is being reckless.
As their largest brand, Momodu questioned why the Tinubu government had turned to criticising the president who was just out of office, Muhammadu Buhari.
According to The Intercept, political figures have been visiting the former president’s house in Kaduna.
The members of the APC’s National Working Committee, or NWC, visited Buhari at his home in Kaduna State under the direction of Abdullahi Ganduje, the party’s national chairman.
The visit happened on Friday, just hours after the former president met with opposition leaders.
Remember that on Friday, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar led a team to Buhari’s home that included former Kaduna Governor Nasir el-Rufai, former Sokoto Governor Aminu Tambuwal, and former Communications Minister Isa Pantami.

“I don’t understand how a sitting president should be attacking his predecessor from the same political party,” Momodu remarked in an interview with Arise Television on Monday night.
He said, “I believe the APC under Tinubu has been quite careless. How does a political party wake up and start attacking its biggest brand, Buhari?
“How does a president wake up and start attacking his immediate predecessor from the same political party? Now you can see that twice in the last few weeks, the APC leadership has been running to see Buhari.”
