The National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as laughable the allegation that the ruling party plotted former Borno State Governor, Alimodu Sheriff in PDP to destabilize it saying the main opposition party is “suffering from its past sins.”
The Ahmed Markafi led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party had on Tuesday accused the APC of contracting Alimodu Sheriff to destroy the PDP so as to destroy its chance of mounting serious challenge to the ruling party.
“The APC wishes to remind the PDP that it is suffering from the sins of the past. A statement signed by Mai Mala Buni, the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) read.
“For the umpteenth time, the APC wishes to state that instead of joining issues with the baseless and laughable allegations, the APC would rather join issues that will bring about all-inclusive development in the country.
“However, it should be put on record that the PDP forced on them whatever crisis it is troubled with today due to its politics of imposition and other undemocratic practices which the APC abhors.
The PDP should put its house in order rather than playing to the gallery and blaming others but themselves for their sins which has come to hunt them.
Buni also said “it is evident that the PDP has chosen to employ diversionary tactics because of its inability to produce credible candidates for the forthcoming elections in Edo and Ondo states.
The Peoples Democratic Party has been in a running battle to put its house in order over who controls the leadership of the party.
The ousted acting national chairman, Alimodu Sheriff currently leads a faction of the party, which also includes a few members of the sacked National Working Committee, while Makarfi, who enjoys the support of the PDP governors and the Board of Trustees, leads another faction.
