By Farouk Mohammed

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has disclosed that he asked President Muhammadu Buhari to restructure the country before leaving the ruling the All progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking to BBC Hausa on Saturday, the former vice president recalled that he threatened to leave the party is the federal government failed to change its style of leadership.

Atiku said: “The APC started on a wrong footing after President Buhari assumed office.

“After 2015 general elections, I met the president and told him the activities of the party had been crippled and there was a need for restructuring.

“Also, the way the government was being run; I made my suggestions but it seemed they were deemed not important to them. I said to him, if things continued like this, I will quit but Buhari ignored it.”
