BEVERLY HILLS, September 17, (THEWILL) – One time national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dr. Ahmadu Ali has stated that the current crisis rocking the former ruling party is caused by western powers envious of PDP’s record of governing Nigeria for 16 uninterrupted years.
The former minister stated that the forces, who he called enemy outside Nigeria, believe that leaving the PDP to continue in power after 16 years, will make it become an impossible party which cannot be manipulated.
Ali, who disclosed this to Saturday Sun, also blamed the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, for the leadership squabble in the PDP, stressing that their plan is to disorganize the opposition so the party in power can have peace.
According to him, “The PDP imbroglio is most unfortunate but it is all within the realm of politics. If APC finds that they are not performing excellently well and we who can claim to be experts in running the country for 16 years are now outside government and we keep criticizing, the best thing is to find a way of disorganising us and they succeeded in disorganising us.
“And again our friends, the enemy outside Nigeria who believed that the PDP has broken such a record in the governance of Nigeria… 16 years uninterrupted… one political party… it has never happened in Nigeria.
“So they believed that leaving the PDP to continue in that run, they will end up to become an impossible party that they cannot manipulate, like the Gulf Party of the Arabs where they had to destroy Saddam and everybody to disorganize the region,” the former minister said.
