However, the APC in the state through its publicity secretary, Sylvanus Namang, said the crisis was a good development for them, explaining that the disagreement among the PDP members would further disunite the party.

“This is a self-inflicted crisis. I cannot see how they would put their house in other. Jang is the owner of the PDP because the structure is fully controlled by him. So, for them to pass a vote of no confidence on him will further worsen the crisis. I wouldn’t say we are happy because we want strong competition which is lacking. But in a way, we are happy because we are going to have a landslide victory, ” Namang said.
