The unfolding events in the All Progressives Congress (APC) since the resignations of its erstwhile National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, and Secretary, Iyiola Omisore, have shown that the ruling party is still deeply enmeshed in unending leadership controversies.The duo, in an intriguing manner, had bowed out voluntarily after tenaciously clinging on to the positions, fighting a battle of their lives, for more than one year since they assumed offices.

The South East geopolitical zone in Nigeria has been short-changed with five ministerial slots, causing dissatisfaction among stakeholders like Ohanaeze Ndigbo and Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu. The Pan socio-cultural organization has called for justice and fairness in state creation, stating that the region is in a difficult position politically, economically, and socially. The South-East is denied federal revenue allocation and resource distributions based on states. The Pan socio-cultural organization appeals to President Tinubu to restore justice, equity, and fairness in Nigeria, but has been deaf to the appeals and requests from stakeholders. This action may have been a confirmation of the ruling party's position in the South East geopolitical zone, which has not significantly changed in the previous eight years of President Muhammadu Buhari's administration.
