THE leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Wednesday, raised the alarm over an alleged plot by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to destabilise the party, using its (PDP) disgruntled members to execute the plot aftermath of the outcome of the 2015 general election.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja, on Wednesday, shortly after the regular meeting of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), its national publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, however, vowed that the party would resist such devilish plot.

Metuh declared that “the NWC has noted some divisive comments and statements by certain elements within the party, who are being enticed by extraneous factors and other parties to cause disharmony in our ranks.

“While cautioning against such comments, we urge our members with genuine grievances to direct them through the appropriate channels within our party, in line with the provisions of the PDP constitution.

“We are aware that some elements within our party have been co-opted by the APC to destabilise our party, aftermath  the outcome of the results of the 2015 general election. While others have defected to the APC, some have been asked to stay behind to be used to execute the plot, but the NWC will not allow this to happen.”

While reassuring that the party would bounce back with a bang in no too distance future, Metuh said “we reassure all our members that the NWC has put a machinery in place to re-engineer and refocus our great party in keeping with our collective determination to consolidate our support base in all states of the federation, with a view to regaining power at the centre in the next four years, since it is obvious that the APC lacks what it takes to effectively lead our dear nation.”

He disclosed that the NWC, as part of its efforts to rebuild the party, had summoned emergency meetings for next week with all its elected governors, senators, members of the House of Representatives and all its candidates in the last general election.

Metuh futher added that all the states and zonal chairmen of the party had also been directed to furnish the NWC with the comprehensive reports on the last general election in their respective states and zones, for the party to take general review of events and to take a common stand on the general conduct of the polls.

“We, therefore, in the strongest possible terms, call on Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security forces to ensure that rescheduled elections in the affected areas are free, fair and credible and that every effort must be made to resist the intimidations and blackmails of clearly obsessed APC with the aim of manipulating the process in their favour,” he added.
