People Democratic Party are just confused - APC

The All Progressives Congress has declared that the crisis
rocking the Peoples Democratic Party is beyond
reconciliation.
Interim National Publicity Secretary, APC, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, who stated this in Lagos, on Friday, declared
that the "PDP has broken into pieces."
A thunderous "Amen!" greeted the declaration by
Mohammed, who addressed a congregation that attended
the 8th edition of Town Hall meeting and graduation
ceremony of Youth Empowerment and Skills Acquisition
Scheme organised by the representative of Lagos-Central
senatorial disctrict, Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu.
He described the two events that occurred on July 31st
and August 31st this year, as a watershed in the history of
Nigeria.
He recalled that on July 31st, 2013, the Independent
National Electoral Commission announced the birth of the
APC while exactly a month later (August 31st), seven
governors and other political bigwigs within the PDP
staged a walk out from the party's special convention in
Abuja and announced the "New PDP".
The August 31 saga, he said, marked the end of PDP's
regime in Nigeria because that would be the first time in
the history of the country that seven governors and other
party's stalwarts will walk out on a sitting President.
The governors that staged the walkout included Alhaji Sule
Lamido (Jigawa), Alhaji Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto), Mr. Rabiu
Kwankwanso (Kano), Aliyu Babangida (Niger), Abdulfatah
Ahmed (Kwara), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) and Mr. Rotimi
Amaechi (Rivers).
It would be recalled that efforts by former President
Olusegun Obasanjo, former maximum ruler, General
Ibrahim Babangida, former Vice-President, Chief Alex
Ekwueme, PDP ex-National Chairmen, PDP Chairman
Board of Trustee, Chief Anthony Anenih and other leaders
to resolve the crisis hit the rocks.
The Kawu Baraje-led faction of the PDP threatened to form
a new party or align with another party if the Bamanga
Tukur-faction did not yield to its demands.
The 'New PDP' demanded the sacking of Alhaji Bamanga
Tukur; adding that President Jonathan forget his re-
election ambition. It also demanded the Nigeria Governors
Forum and Rivers State crises should be resolved; and the
"harassment" of governors by the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission should be stopped.
