The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was trying to destabilise it by planting moles within its fold.
National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh stated this on Wednesday while speaking with journalists at the end of the party`s National Working Committee (NWC) meeting, the first after it lost the presidential election to the APC.
“We have noted that while some members had left our party, others have been asked to remain to cause disaffection and disharmony to destroy the spirit of unity in the party,” Metuh was quoted by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) to have said.
He said the NWC had noted some divisive statements by certain elements within the party, who were being enticed by extraneous factors and other parties to cause disharmony in its ranks.
Metuh therefore warned against such comments and urged party members with genuine grievances to direct such through the appropriate channels within the party in line with the provisions of its Constitution.
The party, according to him, was working to bounce back and regain power at the centre in 2019, “since it is obvious that the APC lacks what it takes to effectively lead the nation.”
He said that following the party’s perceived poor performance at the just-concluded elections; it would meet with its governors and senators-elect on April 21.
Metuh said the party`s leadership would also meet with its members elected into the House of Representatives on April 22.
