National Chairman Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed accused former members and officials of attempting to divide the party and divert support to opposition candidates. Baba-Ahmed alleged that individuals sought to use millions of naira to influence party members and create a faction. He urged party members to resist these attempts and called on them to expose the alleged recruitment of polling agents by unauthorized individuals. The chairman warned that serving party officials involved in the scheme would face disciplinary action.
