THE ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dissociated itself from the statement by the deputy national chairman, Dr. Bello Haliru Mohammed, accusing the government of the United States, US, of plotting with the opposition in Nigeria to destabilise the country.

Mohammed had claimed that the US government and its embassy in Nigeria were conspiring with the opposition to cause confusion and destabilize the government of President Umaru Yar'Adua.

According to the deputy national chairman, the US embassy was planning to organise a meeting with the pro-democracy groups in Nigeria and President Barack Obama while in Ghana for his state official visit.

But the party in a statement signed by the national publicity secretary, Professor Rufai Ahmed Alkali, in Abuja, yesterday, dissociated the PDP from the views expressed by Mohammed against the backdrop that there was no time the issue was discussed at any level or organ of the party

, adding

the statement at best represents his personal opinion.
