‘They chose a good name’ — Nigerians React to the emergence of new APC faction

A faction of the All Progressive Congress (APC) broke away in Abuja on Wednesday.

The new group under the leadership of Buba Galadima, a former ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, is known as R-APC.

Here are the things people are saying about it on Twitter:

If u hailed the emergence of nPDP in 2014, pls and pls don't criticise RAPC....

Let us just enjoy this drama.

We will all be alright last last.

Apart from the SP, no other person in RAPC controls even a senatorial district talk more of a whole state. They've made up their minds to leave APC, Kwara votes will be missed but it's not NEEDED.

The formation of rAPC is a test of leadership and character for the new Chairman H.E. Adams Oshiomole in mediation reconciliation, crisis mgmnt and rebuilding. It’s a test of democratic reengineering and restructuring. The game is here!

Truth be said, Nigeria's destiny is tied to APC & PDP. Every other party remains paper tigers. If other parties gave hope of forming a govt or winning the general elections, factions like nPDP and now rAPC would have either formed their parties or defected to the "paper tigers".

LMAO. Twitter politicians who don’t have strength to mobilize even their family members to vote for APC want the party to allow those who control states to leave the party. Some of you overate yourselves, and you’re also politically clueless, and you also don’t know anything. 🤣

This RAPC is the real threat to APC. The ruling party needs to act real fast on this latest development.

Since Buhari is always not aware, hope he has heard of RAPC?
If he hasn't let him know!

From nPDP to rAPC. The vultures in this country are always ….

APC, PDP, nPDP, rAPC...what really is the difference? What’s the differing ideology? What’s the political vision? What’s the intention for seeking political office? Why the constant bickering?
