The People's Democratic Party has said that moles, members engaged in anti-party activities, are responsible for the crisis in Kogi and Lagos states.

An official who spoke anonymously said that the crisis in the Lagos chapter of the party was instigated by a key member whose candidate lost the bid to be elected as the party's state chairman.

According to Legit, the internal crisis in Lagos PDP led to the emergence of two state party chairmen, Adegbola Dominic and Adedeji Doherty.

The official added that the crisis rocking the PDP in Kogi state was caused by members who worked against the party during the last governorship election.

He noted that one of the governorship aspirants who took the party to court over the result of the primaries is now trying to control the party structures that he worked against.

In Kano state, the PDP official said a mole who worked against the Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso-led group that stood with the party during the presidential and governorship elections in the state is causing the internal crisis.

He said the mole worked for the All Progressives Congress - APC and now wanted to control the party he abandoned in the last general elections. The PDP official, however, said the party will soon take action to resolve the crises.
