Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The All Progressives Congress, APC, has blamed the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on the inordinate ambitions of politicians and lack of proper coordination.<\/p>\n

The National Secretary of the party, Senator Ajibola Bashir, stated this on Wednesday in Abuja when he formally received a former member of the PDP, Hon. Nicholas Ossai, at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He described the main opposition party as a dilapidated structure that can no longer be trusted to rule the country again.<\/p>\n

The secretary said that of all the political parties in Nigeria, only the ruling party continues to wax stronger.<\/p>\n

He commended Ossai for acknowledging the achievements of President Bola Tinubu, saying he doubts there\u2019s any politician in Nigeria who has radiated hope and support for many politicians.<\/p>\n

Bashir stated: \u201cOf all political parties in Nigeria, our party continues to wax stronger, and you see opposition parties, particularly the Peoples Democratic Party, are in serious crisis occasioned by inordinate ambitions and lack of proper coordination.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question is, can Nigerians trust a party that cannot even put its house in order to rule the country? So, thank you for abandoning that already dilapidated structure.\u201d<\/p>\n

While speaking with journalists after his meeting with Bashir, Ossai, who represented Ndokwa East\/Ndokwa West\/Ukwuani of Delta state on the platform of PDP, said the center can no longer hold in PDP because the umbrella has broken.<\/p>\n

His words: \u201cThe umbrella has broken, the center cannot hold. You don\u2019t play party politics when the head is sick. So, I have come to be part of the teamwork of APC that is already shaping Nigeria. PDP today has broken. You ask a question: why is it not fixed? Because the center cannot hold.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy as an APC member today, and I\u2019m going to work with the leadership of APC in the grassroots and make sure that APC takes over Delta State in 2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo start with, APC will take over the House of Assembly in my local government, which I will produce, and by His grace, APC will take over my federal constituency where I have spent 12 years.\u201d<\/p>\n
