The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is embroiled in a fresh crisis following a stunning allegation by Jackson Udeh, a former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan. Udeh has claimed that the PDP has effectively become a department under the All Progressives Congress (APC), with its National Working Committee (NWC) members operating as APC operatives.
In a statement that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, Udeh asserted that all NWC members, including the acting National Chairman and National Secretary, should be treated as APC members. This bombshell allegation has sparked widespread outrage and disbelief among PDP loyalists, who are demanding an immediate response from the party leadership.
Udeh’s explosive claim has raised questions about the integrity and loyalty of the PDP’s top echelon, with many wondering if there has been a covert takeover by the ruling party. The allegation has also sparked fears about the implications for the opposition party’s ability to effectively challenge the APC in future elections.
The PDP has yet to issue an official response to Udeh’s allegation, fueling speculation and anxiety among party faithful. As the controversy continues to simmer, all eyes are on the PDP leadership to clarify the situation and reassure its members of its commitment to democratic values and opposition politics.
The development has also sparked a wider debate about the state of opposition politics in Nigeria, with many calling for greater transparency and accountability within political parties. As the political landscape continues to evolve, one thing is clear: the PDP must urgently address this crisis and restore the trust of its members and supporters.
