The national leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that it is too busy to meddle in the affairs of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Naija News reports that APC made this remark in response to a recent assertion by the Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed.
Mohammed recently accused the APC of fuelling internal divisions in the PDP. He claimed that the ruling party had deliberately planted moles within the PDP in Rivers State.
He stated that the APC picked the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to serve in its administration because they do not have people who can perform better than PDP members.
The governor stated this when the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT) paid him a visit on Wednesday.
He expressed concern over the power struggle between Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State and his predecessor, Wike.
Reacting, however, to Mohammed’s submission, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, stated that the crisis within the PDP is a result of its own actions and is deeply rooted, referencing a history of leadership disputes that existed prior to the establishment of the APC.
In a statement issued on Friday in Abuja, Morka pointed to the tumultuous tenures of various national chairmen, including Barnabas Gemade, Audu Ogbeh, Vincent Ogbulafor, Okwesilieze Nwodo, Bamanga Tukur, Ali Modu Sheriff, Ahmed Makarfi, Uche Secondus, and Iyorcha Ayu, as evidence of the confusion plaguing the PDP.
The APC spokesperson attributed the current turmoil to the PDP’s disregard for its constitutional provisions regarding zoning and power distribution between the Northern and Southern regions.
He urged Governor Mohammed and other leaders within the PDP to engage in self-reflection and seek internal resolutions, rather than attributing blame to the APC.
“The PDP decided to concentrate both positions in one zone, digging itself into a deeper crisis.
“Our great party is too busy doing the job entrusted to it by the Nigerian electorate and does not have a moment to spare in involvement in PDP’s internal commotion,” Morka stated.
