APC reacts to Supreme Court declaration of Makarfi as PDP chairman

The All Progressives Congress (APC) says that the party is not bothered by the declaration of Ahmed Makarfi as National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Bolaji Abdullahi, National Publicity Secretary, spoke in Abuja while reacting to Supreme Court judgment on the PDP leadership crisis.

Abdullahi said there ought not to be reaction from the APC because it was not a party to the legal suit, adding that it was 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.

Similarly, 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’’‎, he said.

According to him, PDP was party a that institutionalised corruption and failed to handle the security of the nation.
