The Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of fuelling internal divisions in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Mohammed claimed that the ruling party had deliberately planted moles within the PDP in Rivers State.
He stated that the APC picked the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to serve in its administration because they do not have people who can perform better than PDP members.
The governor stated this when the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT) paid him a visit on Wednesday.
He expressed concern over the power struggle between Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State and his predecessor, Wike.
According to him, “We have to close ranks. It is something that is baffling some of us but any challenge is not insurmountable; it will be surmounted by the grace of God and we will find a solution to that and that is why there is a problem.
“It is only PDP with the experience of governance that is being challenged. And you will notice that this is a creation of the other side (APC).
“They want us to be in disarray; it (the crisis) is the creation of the APC. They always want to have moles within us; they want to have the knowledge of what is happening within us
“And you can see that even Wike who is in the APC and in the PDP is performing very well. They (APC) don’t have people who can perform like our members and that is why they chose to pick him and give him a state-like structure to run, and to us, it is a commendation.”
However, Mohammed assured that efforts are underway to take decisive action to unify the party, stating, “We cannot compromise the peace and unity of our great party.”
