A former aide to the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, Lauretta Onochie, has penned an emotional letter addressed to her ex boss.
In a strongly worded message posted on her verified Facebook page on Thursday, Onochie expressing dismay over what she described as the degeneration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) since Buhari’s exit from office.
She said the ruling party had lost the values Buhari championed – fairness, equity, justice, and accountability
Onochie, who also once served as Chairman of the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), said: “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 lamented what she referred to as a culture of impunity and reward for wrongdoing in the APC
“APC chieftains assault airport staff. They hijack planes and then are rewarded as ambassadors. Iniquities are sprayed with roses and perfumes; unless you belong to the opposition,” Onochie wrote.
Onochie, however, assured the late former president that his followers would not abandon the principles he upheld.
“Sorry Baba, there’s no more APC. Thank you for showing us that righteousness is possible among Nigerians and in Nigeria. God bless your soul,” she wrote.
Bellnews reports that Buhari, who died at a London hospital on July 13, 2025, aged 82, was buried in his hometown of Daura, Katsina State.
