Come Over Here – APC Woos Rebel Governors

There are indicators that the All Progressive Congress (APC) has actually improved its techniques to woo the hurt governors of the Peoples Democratic Event (PDP) to its side. It was found out on Wednesday that the National Vice-Chairman North-East of the APC, Umar Duhu, led a party delegation to governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako at the government residence in Yola, and had actually told them that they were at his house after assessment with theAPCmanagement to formally invite him to sign up with theparty. The other aggrieved governors, rebel governors as they are called, are prominent participants of the NewPDPled by Alhaji Abubakar Baraje. They are Sule Lamido (Jigawa); Rabiu Kwakwanso (Kano); Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers); Babangida Aliyu (Niger); Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara); and Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto). It was collected that the Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako, told the going to APC delegation that himself and the 6 other individual aggrieved PDP governors, may discard the PDP for the ‘cozy accept of the APC. The Director of Press to the Adamawa Governor, Ahmad Sajo, pointed out that Nyako shared his wish and those of his coworkers to sign up with the opposition APC as ‘soon as the situation in the PDP becomes unbearable.’ Sajo said, ‘The governor told them he is committed to supporting them; he admires all the APC governors for the way they are focused in their performance. ‘He abhors the injustice and impunity that are going on in the PDP and he also frowns on the fact that someone would emerge as the party’s candidate at the local level and the PDP will change the name of the person in Abuja and submit a different person’s name.’ He quoted the governor as saying, ‘these are the reasons (injustice and impunity) why we may have to dump the PDP, if they will not change their ways. ‘We may definitely be pushed to the warm embrace of the APC because there is so much injustice in the PDP. ‘It is a party which renders your efforts null and void after you have gone through the process and secured nomination; a system that takes over your property without giving you an opportunity to defend yourself for whatever infringement you may have committed. ‘The PDP operates a system that does not respect other people’s point of view; a system that operates on a pre-determined position on all matters is not healthy for democracy.’ – Punch.
