Africa-Press – Nigeria. The 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Adewale Adebayo, has lashed out on the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over the standoff between rival factions of the party on Tuesday.
Speaking in an interview on Arise Television on Wednesday monitored by DAILY POST, Adebayo said the PDP was very lawless when they were in power.
Trouble erupted when rival factions, led by Governors Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State on one side, and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike on the other, clashed over control of the party’s headquarters amid the ongoing leadership dispute.
Reacting, Adebayo said, “With respect to the catastrophe that occurred at the PDP headquarters yesterday, no one is surprised.
“When it was in government, it was a very lawless party that was doing all the rigging and manipulation. And now that they are out of government, they are cannibalising each other.
“What I found concerned there is the role played by the police because the police belong to all of us but PDP belongs to its members. I am concerned if the police are being used to be on either sides.”
