– Says, Paid Mercenaries Destabilizing PDP, LP
Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has expressed disappointment over the current state of affairs in the ruling All Progressive Congress APC, which according to him, has derailed from its founding mission.
El-Rufai, who disclosed this while speaking in Abuja, at an event tagged, “National Conference for strengthening democracy in Nigeria”, said that he has been reliably informed that the internal crises rocking the foundation of the two major opposition political parties in Nigeria, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP) are the handiwork of mercenaries who were hired and sponsored to cause crises that will destroy the two political parties and pave way for the emergence of a one party state in the country.
El-Rufai, a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, “said Obi had informed him that like the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, mercenaries were hired to cause crisis in LP.
He disclosed this in Abuja at an event tagged National Conference for strengthening democracy in Nigeria.
“There are internal mercenaries in the PDP, hired and motivated to destroy the party. The Labour Party is also facing similar issues. Peter Obi himself told me, ‘I don’t know what’s happening in the party I contested with’,” he said.
El-Rufai also stated that he no longer recognizes the All Progressives Congress, APC, because no organ of the party had met in the last two years.
The former governor stressed that APC has deviated from its founding mission. He insisted that the ruling party was created to solve a problem but that would not be possible again”.
