A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Olu Falae, has predicted “things would soon fall apart” in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Mr. Falae, who is the National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), mocked the APC for branding itself a “mega party.” He said the party was likely to totally collapse soon. Mr. Falae spoke at the SDP’s secretariat in Akure, capital of Ondo State, while welcoming Olu Agunloye, a former member of the Peoples Democratic Party and a close ally of Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State, who defected to the Social Democratic Party (SDP). Mr. Agunloye, a former Minister of Power and Steel as well as erstwhile Minister for Defence, had quietly defected from the PDP to the SDP last weekend in Akure. Mr. Falae was recently named as a recipient of N100 million from TonyAnenih, a former chairman of the PDP’s board of trustee. Nigerian investigators have suggested that the largesse was diverted from the $2.1 billion budgeted for the procurement of weapons to enable the Nigerian military to better combat Islamist insurgents operating in Nigeria’s northeast. Former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, has been arraigned in court for disbursing the defence funds to numerous political, media and business interest for purely partisan use. Mr. Falae, who has denied receiving any funds from Mr. Dasuki, described the various political parties that came together to form the APC as opportunists who wish to share Nigeria’s collective resources. He said the APC was made up of “uncommitted individuals,” adding that their major aim was to share money. “They will disintegrate very soon,” he added.
