APC chieftain swipes at PDP as party’s Logo turns down during gathering

The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been interpreted differently as it keeps growing daily.

Abubakar Sidiq Usman, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and special assistant on new media to the senate president, Ahmed Lawan, took a swipe against the opposition in his recent tweet on Twitter.

The APC chieftain shared a picture of a small and coordinated political gathering but a poorly arranged venue where the PDP logo is turned upside down.

Giving a literary interpretation of the setting of the PDP sitting while relating it to the crisis rocking the opposition party, the APC stalwart said, “PDP upside down.”

The leading opposition has been plunged into crisis since Atiku Abubakar emerged as its presidential candidate during its primary election in May.

The emergence of Atiku is against the popular feelings in the southern bloc, which felt the presidency should return to the region since President Muhammadu Buhari is from the northern.

After negotiation, the southern bloc led by the Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike, demanded the resignation of the party’s national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, to accommodate the southern bloc in the leadership structure of the party.

But some leaders of the party, particularly from the northern bloc, have rejected the call, leaving two major power of the party’s leadership structure in the northern bloc.

The party has failed to resolve the crisis since then.
