The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ajibola Basiru has said the ruling party is happy with the crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Bashiru said the personal ambition of some individuals was responsible for the crisis in the PDP and not the APC.

His comment comes against claims by PDP former presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, that APC bribed opposition leaders with N50 million each.

Atiku had claimed that the APC-led government is paying the money to destabilize the opposition.

Reacting to the allegation, the APC scribe declared that the ruling party is not scared of the opposition.

He spoke at the inauguration of unit, ward and local government canvassers under the Alubarika movement of APC in Osun State on Sunday.

“Ambition of a few individuals is what is causing the rift within the opposition party and it is to the joy of us as a ruling party if they don’t get their house together. It is not our job to help them put their house in order,” he said.

Meanwhile,  the crisis within the PDP took a new twist last week when two chieftain locked horns over the position of the party’s National Secretary.

Samuel Anyanwu and Sunday Ude-Okoye caused a major stir during PDP’s Board of Trustees, BoT, meeting at the party’s Secretariat in Abuja.

Recall that the Court of Appeal sitting in Enugu had declared Ude-Okoye as the substantive National Secretary.

The judgment followed the vacancy left by Anyanwu, who earlier stepped aside to run for the Imo State governorship election.

But Anyanwu said Ude-Okoye has no authority to assume the position, despite the ruling.

Anyanwu cited his appeal of the court ruling at the Supreme Court as grounds for maintaining the status quo.
