The Publicity Secretary of the national caretaker committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dayo Adeyeye has explained why the crisis rocking the party is being prolonged.

Adeyeye observed that the lingering internal fued in the party was not unexpected, considering the fact that it had been relegated to the opposition after being in power for 16 years.

He, however, expressed hope that the party would bounce back “to take its rightful position in the country’s political space”.

Speaking on Thursday in Abuja, Adeyeye said in spite of the protracted internal rancour, PDP remained a tool that God would use to reposition Nigeria.

“I believe that the present crisis we are having in PDP is not completely unexpected given the fact that the party was in power for 16 years.

“Being out of power will necessarily create its own problem and unfortunately, we have the introduction of a foreign agent into the party, which has complicated all matters.

“I believe the matter will be resolved one way or the other soonest and from this present crisis, we may even have a strong party,” Adeyeye said.

He added that the forces causing PDP’s protracted crisis would soon encounter their own internal crisis.

“Those who seem to be in comfort today causing trouble, their own problem would soon visit them.

“I am not worried; I put my faith and hope in God and I know that this matter would soon be resolved in a manner that would favour us and majority of Nigerians, by the grace of God,” he said.

“So, Nigerians should not lose hope as the crisis would soon be resolved,” Adeyeye said.
