National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has said that the internal crises rocking most opposition parties are a clear and disturbing reflection of their lack of preparedness for national leadership.

Professor Yilwatda stated this in Abuja while addressing key issues affecting the social, political, and economic management of the country.

He noted that any political platform unable to manage its own internal affairs, reconcile competing tendencies, enforce discipline, or build consensus within its ranks cannot be trusted with the delicate task of governing a complex federation like Nigeria.

According to a statement signed by Mr. Abimbola Tooki, his Special Adviser on Media and Communications Strategy, the Chairman said the persistent implosions, factional wars, legal battles, ego clashes, and "ideological emptiness" that define many opposition parties today are not just political setbacks, but warning signs of deeper structural weakness and managerial incompetence.

He stressed that it would be dangerous and politically irresponsible for Nigerians to hand over the future of the country to political actors who have repeatedly shown that they cannot maintain order within their own houses.

"A party that cannot govern itself cannot govern Nigeria. If a political platform is constantly trapped in self-inflicted crises, consumed by internal sabotage, and weakened by poor management, it simply has no business asking Nigerians for the mandate to lead this country," he said.

The APC National Chairman urged Nigerians to be discerning enough to separate "noise from capacity, propaganda from preparation, and opportunism from genuine leadership."
