Former Interior Minister, Patrick Abba Moro says he doesn’t accept there is division within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) except for challenges stemming from competing interests and power struggles among various factions within the party.
Abba Moro, a senator representing Benue South, said this while speaking on Prime Time, an Arise Television program, on Wednesday.
Moro, who is also the senate minority leader, explained that a true division in a political party occurs when there are two parallel leaderships, noting that this is not the case in the PDP.
“There is no division in PDP. The problem in PDP is not a division in PDP. A division in a party that could lead someone to leave the party and join the other in line with the constitution is where the leadership of the party is divided and there are two parallel leaderships in the party,” Moro said.
“There was in the past a new PDP and PDP; that was a division, because the new PDP had all the paraphernalia of the PDP, and the other party had the whole leadership of the party, so you can call that division.
“But because of the semblance of crisis and disagreement, or conflict, among the members of the party does not constitute division. That’s why I keep insisting that PDP is not divided.”
He emphasised that the current challenges within the PDP are “merely contending tendencies”, which should not be mistaken for a formal division.
“There is no division in PDP; there are contending tendencies within the party. That’s not division,” he added.
