Atiku’s ex-aide, Bwala, has made some serious allegations against governors in Nigeria, accusing them of trying to destroy democracy. According to Bwala, these governors are working against the interests of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and are instead supporting Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
Bwala’s concerns stem from the fact that some PDP governors are associating with Wike, who has been critical of the party’s leadership. This has led to divisions within the party, with some governors supporting Wike’s stance while others remain loyal to the party’s leadership.
The crux of the issue lies in the party’s zoning formula, which was allegedly breached by the governors. They had agreed to zone the presidential ticket to the South, but instead, the party’s national chairman and presidential candidate came from the same zone. This perceived betrayal has sparked tensions within the party.
Bwala’s accusations highlight the deep-seated divisions within the PDP, which could have far-reaching implications for Nigeria’s democracy. With the country’s political landscape already fragile, these internal conflicts could further destabilize the system.
Key Points:
- Division within PDP: Governors associating with Wike are seen as traitors by Bwala.
- Zoning formula breach: Governors allegedly reneged on agreement to zone presidential ticket to the South.
- Implications for democracy: Internal conflicts within PDP could destabilize Nigeria’s political system.
