ABUJA—Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has warned the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to stop meddling in its affairs, saying its South-West members who contested the chairmanship position in last week’s convention were not driven by greed or ethnic considerations.

The party, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbodiyan, noted that the fixation of the APC in its internal affairs is an attempt to cover up its dismal record of performance in the past two years.

The statement reads: “PDP has noted the feverish moves by the APC to create disaffection among our members, distract our great party, and divert the attention of Nigerians from the colossal failure of its government.

“Having woefully failed to stop the PDP elective national convention, a desperate APC has again failed in another bid to plant seeds of discord within the ranks of our members in the South-West, particularly on issues relating to the outcome of our hugely successful national convention.

“The people of the South-West have, however, seen through the antics of the APC propaganda machine and would not allow themselves to be deceived.

“The South-West leaders who contested for the PDP national chairmanship position are all men of quality and credibility; the fallout of the convention cannot, in any way, diminish their standing as core nationalists and statesmen whose interests, particularly in the PDP, and the nation, are not driven by personal or ethnic considerations.”
