APC too busy working for Nigerians to meddle in PDP’s crisis, party tells Bauchi governor
The All Progressives Congress has denied responsibility for the protracted leadership crisis within the People’s Democratic Party as alleged by Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed.
The APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, made this statement on Friday in Abuja in response to comments attributed to the governor.
Mr Morka emphasised that the PDP’s crisis was self-inflicted and endemic, citing its history of leadership imbroglios that predated the APC’s formation.
He said that the chaotic tenures of national chairmen Barnabas Gemade, Audu Ogbeh, Vincent Ogbulafor, Okwesilieze Nwodo, Bamanga Tukur, Ali Modu Sheriff, Ahmed Makarfi, Uche Secondus and Iyorcha Ayu attested to the confusion in the PDP.
The APC spokesman attributed the latest crisis to the PDP’s failure to adhere to its constitution on zoning and power sharing between the North and South zones.
“The PDP decided to concentrate both positions in one zone, digging itself into a deeper crisis,” Mr Morka said.
He advised Mr Mohammed and other PDP leaders to introspect and seek solutions within, rather than blame the APC.
He stated, “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.”
