The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of planning to impose a one-party state in Nigeria.
The party made the allegation at the end of its emergency meeting on Wednesday, December 20, 2023.
The stance of the main opposition party was in reaction to the recent political crisis in Rivers state, in which President Bola Tinubu intervened.
The party, however, reassured its members, critical stakeholders, and supporters that its interventions regarding the political development in Rivers State are yielding the desired results.
”The NWC also reassures that the PDP remains united and firmly on ground in Rivers State and other parts of the country despite the challenges.
”The NWC under the Acting Chairmanship of Amb. Umar Iliya Damagum remains unwavering in providing steady and effective leadership that ensures the stability, growth and effective management of interests and corporate integrity of our party in spite of the onslaught by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to decimate opposition and impose a One-Party State on our nation.
”The NWC has received very disturbing reports that such unscrupulous individuals are recruited by the One-Party-State seeking APC administration to undermine the cohesion that exists within the PDP, which will enable it to effectively perform its opposition role for the sustenance of Democracy and the wellbeing of Nigerians.
”The NWC charges all members to remain united, alert and focused in resisting the antics of the APC and its agents to destabilize our party and impose a One-Party system on the nation,” the statement signed by PDP national publicity secretary, Debo Ologunaba, read.
