Kwara APC Crisis: Why President Tinubu Must Remain Neutral

Kwara APC Crisis: Why President Tinubu Must Remain Neutral — 1 of 4
1 / 4

The All Progressives Congress in Kwara is mired in a legitimacy crisis after disputed primaries. A faction aligned with the state governor has taken traditional rulers to Abuja in what looks like a bid for presidential endorsement. Such a visit risks being read as the President picking sides. In politics, perception often counts more than reality. President Tinubu must rise above factional disputes and protect his office as a symbol of fairness. First-class traditional rulers also face a test. Their moral authority comes from neutrality and mediation. They should avoid any appearance of backing one side in an unresolved political battle.
