Reward your allies or face backlash, APC Chieftain tells Tinubu
A prominent All Progressives Congress (APC) member, Cletus Obun, has sent a warning to President Bola Tinubu on his approach to political appointments, declaring that neglecting loyal party members could have severe consequences.
Obun spoke on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television.
He criticised Tinubu’s handling of appointments, describing it as a dangerous misstep that could alienate the party faithful.
He noted that those who worked tirelessly for Tinubu’s 2023 election victory feel sidelined.
“It is a wrong strategy not to reward your own allies. It would surely boomerang. In a developing democracy such as this, it is a brazen affront to loyalty,” Obun stated.

Highlighting the long-standing issue, he compared the current administration’s reward system to that of former President Muhammadu Buhari, which he deemed equally poor.
“APC had the worst reward system under Buhari, and today we’re seeing the repeat. A man works like an elephant and eats like an ant. It’s not correct,” he said.
Obun expressed concerns that Tinubu’s advisers may be steering him toward a dangerous path by downplaying the contributions of loyal supporters.
“Certain attempts are being made to mislead him into thinking those who worked for him in 2023 may not be useful in 2027. That is political suicide to even attempt,” he warned.
Concluding his remarks, Obun issued a stark reminder: “This direction of not rewarding those who worked, even their prayers alone will affect him. Karma is real.”
Obun’s comments underscore growing frustrations within the APC over Tinubu’s approach to governance and party loyalty.
