Adamu Garba, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has warned that President Bola Tinubu is being misled by sycophants who are shielding him from the country’s harsh realities and the ruling party’s internal weaknesses.
Garba, sounded the alarm during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday. He said the resignation of Abdullahi Ganduje as APC national chairman had left the party exposed to attacks from what he described as a “coalition of vultures” under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
“They [the ADC coalition] hope for our loss, and that is why we need to be serious,” Garba said.

He emphasised the need for honest leadership within the APC, cautioning that flattery and sycophancy were blinding the president and damaging the party’s credibility.
“I believe there are a lot of sycophants around the president; people are telling him that things are okay—things are not okay,” he said.
Garba also lamented the party’s declining popularity in northern Nigeria following the exit of former President Muhammadu Buhari. He noted that the APC secured only 5.5 million votes in the region during the 2023 elections, down from the 12 million Buhari had previously attracted.
“What we need now is to re-engineer our strategies again now with his absence,” he added.
