The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru, has called on opposition parties to stop holding the ruling party responsible for their internal crises, stressing that each party must take ownership of its affairs.
Speaking during a media chat on Wednesday, Basiru addressed concerns that the APC interferes in or disrupts opposition activities, firmly dismissing such claims.
He maintained that there is no evidence linking the ruling party to the challenges facing other political parties, adding that most of these issues stem from internal disagreements and a failure to adhere to proper procedures rather than any external influence.
“Have you seen any APC member challenging our internal processes?. If you say APC is the source of the problem, you must first look at whether those parties are following due process.
“We cannot be casting aspersions on the institution of the judiciary or democracy just to serve political narratives.
“Some parties go ahead with conventions despite court orders, which is clearly in violation of the law.
“Where is the end of political party discipline if people ignore court rulings and still conduct parallel leadership processes?
“Stop blaming APC for internal party crises. Political parties must look inward and manage their affairs within the framework of the law.”
Basiru maintained that the APC operates within the law and respects democratic institutions, including the judiciary.
