The internal crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, took a new turn on Wednesday with an allegation from a member of the party’s National Executive Committee, NEC, that a national vice-chairman of the party and some other top chieftains are responsible for the issues.
The NEC member, Chinemerem Madu in a statement on Wednesday alleged that the party leaders including some NEC members behind the PDP crisis have received money to continue to fuel disagreements.
He added that the calls for the resignation of the PDP national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu are just a distraction while the main target of those behind the crisis is to frustrate the ambition of the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
