The Digest:
In a revealing assessment of the opposition's internal strife, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is actively collaborating with senior members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to weaken it. He framed the PDP's persistent crisis as an externally fueled problem, deflecting blame from his own inability to resolve the conflicts by citing his lack of formal authority within the party's structure.
