Veteran journalist and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Dele Momodu, has alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is intentionally creating crises within opposition parties to weaken them.
In an interview with Arise Television, Momodu expressed concern over the growing instability in the political landscape, particularly within the PDP, Labour Party (LP), and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP). He warned that the actions of the APC could push Nigeria toward a one-party state.
“Nigeria is obviously moving in a direction of a one-party state,” Momodu said. “The ruling party, APC, is so scared of opposition that, right now, crises are being orchestrated from party to party, especially the leading opposition parties like PDP, Labour Party, and NNPP. It’s obvious what is going on.”
He highlighted the uncertainty surrounding the current situation, adding, “No one is in doubt about that. How this would end, I have no idea. So, we are watching.”
Momodu also cautioned members of the APC and those aligning with the ruling party, reminding them that political power is transient.
“The maximum they would do is eight years, so after that, what next? It’s not about how long, it’s about how well,” he stated.
Addressing individuals who have joined the APC for political survival, he remarked, “That’s why I’m advising a lot of people now who are holding onto Asiwaju; he would think they love him—No! It’s self-preservation because they lost out in one party, they ran to Asiwaju, and now they are using him as an umbrella when they should be holding the broom.”
Momodu’s comments underscore growing concerns about political dynamics in Nigeria as the opposition parties face internal turmoil and external challenges.
