Abba Moro, the Senate Minority Leader, has blamed party members’ behavior more than external factors for the continuous unrest inside political parties, particularly the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a Thursday interview with ARISE News, Moro contended that the PDP and comparable parties’ ongoing problems are mostly self-inflicted. He made the argument that important individuals like legislators, party leaders, and governors are crucial in causing and exacerbating these problems.
He stated, “I think the responsibility lies mainly with political actors,” clarifying that parties’ seeming internal strife is a result of their internal dynamics.
He further underlined that individuals in positions of authority, such as top party leaders and elected officials, are primarily to blame for the current state of affairs.
In response to rumors that the PDP is divided into factions, Moro insisted that the party is still a single, cohesive entity.
He boldly declared, “There is only one PDP.”
Moro also considered past internal disputes, especially the contentious convention in Ibadan. He pointed out that because the event was held in contravention of a court order that forbade it, the party’s challenges became more intense.
He claims that the convention’s results were later declared unlawful by the Court of Appeal.
