APC's Adamu Garba Claims Party Inherited "Non-Existent" Country in 2015

In a recent interview on AIT's FocusNigeria on Nigeria, former APC presidential aspirant Adamu Garba stated that the APC inherited a "non-existent" country in 2015, following the party's victory in the 2015 election that ousted the PDP. Garba attributed the country's instability to the destruction of the four instruments of power, known as DIME: diplomacy, intelligence, military, and economy. He claimed that Boko Haram, banditry, and the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) were major non-state actors that had risen to take control of the country's land. The APC has announced its new national chairperson, following the resignation of former chairperson Umar Ganduje, while the PDP held its long-delayed National Executive Council meeting to set a date for its national convention.
