Bauchi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, stated on Wednesday that the ongoing crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was orchestrated by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He made this remark while addressing members of the PDP Board of Trustees during their visit to the Government House in Bauchi, the state capital.
“Any challenge is not insurmountable, it is insurmountable by the grace of God and we will find a solution to that,” he stated. “It is only PDP with the experience of governance that is being challenged.”
“You will notice that this is the creation of the other side. They want us to be in disarray, it is the creation of APC. They always want to have moles within us, they want to have knowledge of what is going on.
“Even the Wike that is in APC is in PDP, he is performing very well. They don’t have people that will perform like our members and that is why they chose to pick him and gave him a state-like structure to run.
“To us, it is a commendation. The press will see that at least irrespective of the bizarre situation, it is a recognition that PDP has the human capital to deliver Nigeria.”
Governor Mohammed also recognized the difficulties arising from Wike’s dual role and attributed the party’s crises to opposition from the APC. However, he assured that they have a plan in place to address the situation.
He emphasized that the PDP’s main priority is to unify the party in order to take over leadership in 2027 and ensure effective governance.
