Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is behind the crises destabilizing major political parties in the country.

Speaking at a gathering with the leadership of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), El-Rufai accused the APC of orchestrating instability within opposition parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP).

Addressing the crisis within the Labour Party, he described it as "contrived" and deliberately designed to distract party leaders from their core responsibilities.

"The crisis that the Labour Party is facing is contrived and funded by the government of the day. Everyone knows it. Jumping from one court to another is all designed to distract the party leadership from focusing on their core functions. The same thing is happening in the PDP. Even the NNPP has been targeted for destruction. There are people who have been resourced to go and cause problems in the NNPP," El-Rufai stated.

He further cited the recent turmoil in the NNPP, questioning the legitimacy of internal party conflicts that led to the expulsion of key figures.

"The last thing I read about NNPP was that one faction of the party has expelled Kwankwaso and the sitting governor. When you see things like that, you know it’s a contrived crisis. Which party sacks a sitting governor?" he questioned.
