Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors Forum, Bala Mohammed, has identified an entity “likely” to be blamed for the crisis in the party.
Mohammed, who is the Governor of Bauchi State, said the All Progressives Congress, APC, is likely to be blamed for the crisis in the PDP.
He disclosed this while addressing journalists after a meeting of the forum and other stakeholders, with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike in attendance last night.
According to Mohammed: “We wouldn’t want to blame the APC for causing a crisis in the PDP, but they are likely to be the ones. We are not saying they are the ones.”
The crucial PDP stakeholders’ meeting was held at the Bauchi State government Lodge in Abuja.
In attendance were governors, former governors, and members of the National Working Committee.
The aim of the crucial meeting was to address issues affecting the party.
The Governors of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke; Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang; Oyo State, Seyi Makinde; and Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri, Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, and Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal were in attendance.
