He said this can be done by eschewing bitterness and rancour as they engage in internal maneuvering for power.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Monday by his Special Adviser on Media, Oliver Okpala, the former Chair said he decided to make this intervention because of the current bad blood, rancorous disunity and widening cracks in the major political parties and the main opposition PDP.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf this current spate of disunity and acrimony in parties continue, the nation\u2019s democracy would be greatly endangered\u201d, he frowned.<\/p>\n

Tukur in the statement further stressed that, \u201cDemocracy only thrives when there is peace, stability and proper functioning of internal conflict resolution mechanisms of political parties\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
