On Saturday, National Leader of the All Progressive Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, revalidated his party’s membership.

The former Lagos state governor returned to Nigeria two weeks ago after a vacation in London.

Meanwhile, despite the South-West’s tension over the quit notice to herdsmen, Tinubu has remained silent since his return.

According to some people, the politician is tactical to avoid confrontation with the North due to his 2023 presidential ambition.

Meanwhile, in reaction to recent developments, ex-Senate President Bukola Saraki accused some prominent citizens of refusing to speak out.

“The deafening silence by critical stakeholders, leaders, and others who we think should speak out is worrisome. This silence is a dangerous tell-tale sign that things are wrong.

“This is not good for our country. We must all speak out and talk about the solution to this twin-problem of insecurity and threat to national unity”, Saraki said in a statement.

Insiders believe Tinubu was among the targets of the former Kwara State Governor’s veiled reference.

Meanwhile, Tinubu’s ally and pioneer APC national chairman, Bisi Akande, has condemned the ongoing membership registration and revalidation exercise.

The ex-Osun State Governor called it a waste of funds, arguing that no population census is repeated less than a decade and that voters are not re-registered at every election.

“I see the present APC membership registration within less than a decade after the original register as an indefensible aberration leading to certain ugly perceptions,” he said.
