Abdullahi Adamu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman, has provided explanations for why his party lost the July 16 governorship election in Osun State.
Adamu claimed that the APC’s internal conflict, not a lack of ability on the side of the group, was what caused the defeat.
This information was revealed yesterday in an interview with BBC Hausa by the APC National Chairman.
Adamu said, “We lost the race not because we are incapable but because of the crisis within. We had a massive gathering of supporters a few days before the election in Osogbo. No one could ever anticipate that we would lose the election.

The APC chair added, “Osun’s defeat doesn’t in any way mean that we will lose at the general election. We only lost one state out of the 22 we have; you see, we are still strong.
“We will sit and check ourselves. We must ask ourselves what is right and wrong and what needs to be corrected.”

He said that losing something that someone else needed was a tradition in life and that the losing party had accepted the defeat in good faith and taken the lesson from it.
But he was extremely confident that the party will triumph in the upcoming elections in 2023.
