The All Progressives Congress (APC) has been accused of fueling the crisis within the ranks of the opposi­tion, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Niger state.

The State Chairman of the PDP, Barrister Tanko Beji also alleged that the ruling APC was using some security organiza­tions in the state to coerce and intimidate its mem­bers so that they will de­camp to the ruling party.

Beji made the allega­tions in Minna, Niger state while fielding ques­tions from Journalists.

He alleged that the APC was behind the re­cent parallel state con­gress held by some mem­bers of the PDP, saying that apart from releas­ing a public building for the holding of the con­gress, the APC govern­ment, Beji claimed, do­nated three million naira (N3million) for the same purpose which saw the emergence of a rival state executive council of the PDP.
