APC’s internal fault fight scares me more than Atiku and Obi Shettima’s Stark Warning Ahead of 2027

Vice President Kashim Shettima’s candid admission that he fears the All Progressives Congress’s internal contradictions more than he fears Atiku Abubakar or a “diminished” Peter Obi cuts through the usual campaign bravado.
