‘Tinubu Not Doing Well’ — APC Stalwart
A former All Progressives Congress (APC) Deputy National Chairman (North) aspirant, Sunny Moniedafe, has passed a vote of no confidence in the administration of Bola Tinubu.
He expressed serious concern over the state of the party’s internal politics, suggesting that the ruling party may be heading for collapse.
Appearing on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Tuesday, Dr Moniedafe commented on the recent demands by former members of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), who called on President Tinubu to ensure that the vice-presidential seat remained within their bloc ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“I don’t blame them,” he said. “They have a point. Everyone wants to protect their interest.”
Dr Moniedafe further spilt the beans on his assessment of President Tinubu’s leadership.
“I think we are heading for the rocks,” he said. “And I’m sorry to say this – President Tinubu is not doing well.”
He criticised the continued relevance of the founding party blocs – ANPP, CPC, and ACN- within APC’s internal structure.
“We should have outgrown those things by now,” he stated, lamenting how divisions within the party had become entrenched.
“When CPC came up with their own bloc, I made calls pleading to show the president that the ACN exists.”
Moniedafe added that party stakeholders should be actively defending the administration’s policies, but many remained either silent or uninformed.
“They do not even know what to talk about,” he said, noting that the party lacked internal structure and accountability.
He noted that the President should have convened a forum of elders to serve as the conscience of the party.
“Currently, people are still lucky to be there,” he said. “But Tinubu didn’t call us because he knows we won’t support some of his actions.”
He also questioned the President’s early push for a second term.
“I have never heard, seen or read about someone looking for a second term from the first day he was sworn in,” he said.
Moniedafe expressed disbelief over policy decisions such as the removal of fuel subsidies and criticised the language used by Tinubu during the selection of Vice President Kashim Shettima.
“Even if Tinubu has the right to pick who will become his vice, you don’t say it like that,” he remarked. “There is a crisis in the party.”

He further criticised reactions to the political turmoil in Rivers State.
“No elected president has the right to remove an elected governor,” he said. “There is fire on the mountain.”
Dr Moniedafe added that he was “tired of keeping quiet” and hinted at a possible exit from the party if things do not change.
