It said it was evident that the party was suffering from a leadership deficiency and hence its penchant for embarking on journeys in search of leaders to give it direction.
The Presidency, through the Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, therefore predicted that the APC would soon collapse.
Okupe, in an interview with journalists after addressing a press conference on the achievements of President Goodluck Jonathan in Lagos, was apparently referring to the visit of the opposition party leaders to former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Saturday.
The APC leaders had also paid a similar visit to a former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.
But the APC, through one its leading members,Rotimi Fashakin, said the Jonathan Presidency had since “lost direction and does not really know how to constructively engage the myriads of problems that are besetting it.”
Okupe however expressed the view that members of the APC seemed to have forgotten that God had a hand in their search for capable leaders.
He said, “The APC boat is destined for the Red Sea and in fact, I remember that when we went to Israel, we prayed to God to remove all the people troubling Nigeria. So, by what is happening now, I believe that God is working quietly to gather these people.Okupe accused the APC leaders of insincerity, saying “when a Kwakwanso (apparent reference to Kano State Govenor …. Kwakwanso) was in the Peoples Democratic Party, he was corrupt but now, he is a saint.”
“By the time Jonathan defeats those giants, God will take all the glory and people will know that the APC is heading for failure.”
Kwakwanso is one of the five governors that recently dumped the PDP for the APC.
