A faction has emerged from the ruling political party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.
It is named the Reformed All Progressives Congress, R-APC.
The emergence of the group was announced in Abuja on Wednesday at a press conference held at the Sheraton Hotel, Abuja.

Speaking at the occasion, Galadima said the new group was made up of all the progressive forces in APC.
The new group condemned the Muhammadu Buhari-led government saying it had dashed the hope of Nigerians as it ran a “rudderless, inept and incompetent government.”
The group accused the APC government of imposing dictatorship, impunity, abuse of power, complete abdication of constitutional and statutory responsibilities among other crimes.
The R-APC revealed that it had officers in all the wards, 774 local governments areas, and all the 36 states of the federation including the Federal Capital Territory.

It also boasted of a National Executive Committee, a National Working Committee and other organs.
The R-APC said it would work with like-minded political parties and groups to offer Nigeria qualitative good governance in 2019.
“Nigeria faces an existential threat arising from three years of near destruction of this country and the exacerbation of our ethnic, religious and divisive cleavages. We will in concert with others offer real change to Nigeria. Not fake change. It is clear that our party needs a leadership that will live by its founding ideals.
“We have therefore decided to legitimately lead those members to work to rebuild our nation more firmly on genuine democratic principles, to enshrine good governance and restore the faith of Nigerians in the possibility of the existence of a prosperous, secure and peaceful nation,” the group said.
