Providing insight into the internal crisis, Kalgo explained that the Kebbi PDP executives initially boycotted a factional convention that produced Kabiru Tanimu Turaki due to a court subsisting order restraining the exercise. “The opposition party can not support the ruling party,’ Kalgo stressed, adding that the development was unacceptable for a party that is expected to provide credible opposition to the ruling government. “As members of an opposition party, we can not be working for or aligning with the ruling party. Continuing, while further highlighting the background to the recent development, the Kebbi ex-PDP scribe lamposted that the deepening PDP crisis underscores the deepening internal crisis within the PDP, Nigeria’s main opposition party, which has been grappling with leadership disputes, factional conventions, and high-profile defections across several states. “In Kebbi, the crisis has been further compounded by disagreements over the legitimacy of party structures and growing concerns about alleged alliances with the ruling APC,” he stated.
