‘APC not threatened by who becomes PDP National Chairman’

Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Publicity Secretary, says that the party is not threatened by who becomes the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He said this on Wednesday in Abuja while reacting to Supreme Court judgement on the PDP leadership crisis which declared Ahmed Makarfi as the authentic chairman of the party.
Abdullahi said there ought not to be reaction from the APC because it was not a party to the legal suit, adding that it could not be bothered by the court judgment.
“Whichever way you want to look at it, the ruling has no direct consequence on APC whichever faction the pendulum swings to,’’ he said.
Abdullahi added that it would be wrong for anyone to insinuate that the unity of the PDP was a threat to the APC, especially as it had nothing to do with the case.
Also, reacting to the judgement, the newly appointed North-East National Vice Chairman of the APC, Alhaji Mustapha Salihu, said the party was not threatened by who became PDP Chairman.
He said the PDP failed when it was in power and had the opportunity in government, stressing that the APC was looking at institution not individuals.
“Makarfi or Ali-Modu Sheriff is no threat to us; we are looking at the institution and not the person.’’
According to him, PDP institutionalised corruption and failed to handle the security of the nation.
