Lauretta Onochie, former Special Assistant on Digital and Social Media to late President Muhammadu Buhari, has publicly accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of having abandoned the values the late president stood for, calling the party a “private enterprise.”
In a message posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, Onochie addressed the late Buhari—affectionately known as “Baba”—lamenting that the APC has lost core ideals like fairness, equity, justice, and equality. “Dear Baba, APC is now a Private Enterprise. It has lost all the values you stood for. Fairness, equity, justice, equality, etc., have all been kpaied,” she wrote.
Onochie also condemned what she described as a disturbing pattern of misconduct where party members are rewarded despite serious allegations. “APC senators assault airport staff. They hijack planes and then are rewarded as ambassadors,” she claimed, further criticizing the party’s double standards: “Iniquities are sprayed with roses and perfumes; unless you belong to the opposition.”
Despite her criticism, Onochie reaffirmed her respect for President Buhari’s legacy and his integrity, pledging that supporters of his principles would not allow the country to regress into past misrule. “Sorry Baba, there’s no more APC. Thank you for showing us that righteousness is possible among Nigerians and in Nigeria,” she concluded.
