APC, nPDP Rift Deepens, Faction Keeps Options Open

There are strong indications that the last-ditch attempt to settle the rift between the defunct nPDP and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) arising from complaints of the former of marginalisation and maltreatment of its members by the leadership of the APC is headed for the rocks as allegations bordering on the exclusion of members of the nPDP from the party’s upcoming national convention subcommittees unravel.

But members of the factions have said regardless of the development, they are ready to wait and see the end of the planned meeting called by the leadership of the ruling party to iron out the grey areas even as the group has said it would decide on its next move before the convention of the party in June.

THISDAY gathered that the gulf between the aggrieved factional members and the leadership of the ruling APC widened during the week when it was discovered that its members have again been schemed out from being part of the APC convention’s sub-committees, a development which further infuriated the group provoking its members to begin considering other options ahead of the 2019 election.
