Moses Paul, a former chairmanship candidate for the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), has accused political adversaries of orchestrating the turmoil within the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) as a deliberate attempt to cripple the party. Speaking on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ on Thursday, Paul asserted that external forces are working to sow discord among the party’s top three leaders: Seriake Dickson, Peter Obi, and Rabi’u Kwankwaso.
He emphasized that Peter Obi had no role in nominating any candidates for the party, countering claims that the former presidential candidate was involved in the ongoing disputes. Paul warned that the ultimate goal of these machinations is to create chaos and collapse the NDC from within. "The plan is to fracture the alliance between these three wise men," he stated, referring to Dickson, Obi, and Kwankwaso.
Paul urged party members and the public to recognize these efforts as an external agenda aimed at destabilizing the NDC. He clarified that Obi neither nominated nor influenced any candidates, insisting that the narrative suggesting otherwise is false propaganda. "We must see through these divisive tactics," Paul added, calling for unity to thwart what he described as a calculated assault on the party’s foundation.
