Kazeem Afegbua, media aide of ex-military President Ibrahim Babangida, is spokesman of the Reformed All Progressives Congress (R-APC), a new faction of the ruling party.

The faction broke away from the APC on Wednesday, describing their former party as a “monumental disaster”.

Buba Galadima, chairman of the R-APC, said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is better than APC.

Afegbua made the headlines when the Department of State Services (DSS) invited him over a statement he issued on behalf of his principal.

He quoted Babaginda as asking Nigerians to vote out President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.

It is not clear if Babangida is playing a role in the newly-established R-APC.

Below is a list of the national officers of the R-APC:

• Buba Galadima – national chairman
• Bala Muhd Gwagwarwa – national deputy chairman, north
