Abuja – Senate Minority Leader, Senator Abba Moro, has blamed the recurring instability and crises rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other political parties squarely on internal actors rather than external influences.

In a candid interview on ARISE News on Thursday, April 9, 2026, Moro argued that the persistent turmoil within the PDP is largely self-inflicted, pointing accusing fingers at key party stakeholders including governors, lawmakers, and other senior leaders.

“I believe the responsibility lies mainly with political actors,” he said, stressing that the visible crises stem from the internal dynamics and actions of those within the party itself.

Moro further emphasised that elected officials and top party figures bear the greatest responsibility for the situation, adding that leadership positions come with the duty to foster unity rather than deepen divisions.

Addressing widespread reports of factionalisation within the PDP, the Benue South senator firmly rejected claims that the party is divided.

is only one PDP,” he stated categorically.

Reflecting on past internal conflicts, Moro singled out the controversial national convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State, as a major setback. He noted that the event worsened the party’s challenges because it was held in defiance of a subsisting court order restraining it.

According to him, the Court of Appeal subsequently ruled the convention invalid and nullified its outcomes.

Senator Moro’s comments come as the PDP continues to grapple with leadership disputes and internal wrangling ahead of the 2027 general elections. His position reinforces growing concerns that the main opposition party must resolve its self-created problems to remain a viable force in Nigerian politics.

The Senate Minority Leader maintained that the party remains united despite recent setbacks and urged stakeholders to prioritise internal reconciliation and discipline.
