Social media reacts
Several users joked about the senator’s frustration, describing it as a taste of internal party politics.
“Men cry too,” one user reacted humorously.
Another wrote: “APC na promise and fail. Both to the politicians and masses.”
Some commenters also argued that politicians who defect for personal political gains should expect such outcomes.

Others linked the development to the growing tensions and dissatisfaction reportedly surrounding recent party primaries and internal negotiations ahead of future elections.
