Northern Governors Undecided On Joining APC

 Political leaders, including governors in the North-West,  are divided  over whether to join the APC or not.

Investigation showed that the leaders and their followers were not happy with Jonathan and were therefore determined  to ensure  his ouster   in 2015.

For example, some northern governors, especially those in the North-West, have been  meeting political leaders and former rulers, complaining about Jonathan’s style of leadership and the running of the PDP.

The  governors are  Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Rabiu  Kwankwaso (Kano), Aliyu Wamakko(Sokoto), Babangida  Aliyu (Niger) and Murtala Nyako (Adamawa).

They also complained about the crisis in Rivers State, which they were said to have alleged was caused by the Presidency.

It was   gathered that while Nyako had been fraternising with the defunct ANPP before  it became a part of the APC, Lamido, on the other hand,  had been lambasting the promoters of the new party.

A source close to two other governors said; “for now, the best thing to do is to engage in wider consultations rather than just jumping into a new party; there are many ways to kill a rat; if the PDP believes that without some governors it could go it alone, then, when election comes, we shall see.

“That has been the position of the rest governors but it is only the Adamawa State  governor,  who is insisting that his colleagues of like-minds should dump the PDP before 2015.”

But the Chief Press Secretary to Nyako, Ahmed Sajoh,  said  his boss was not leaving the PDP.

He said, “The governor has made it clear that he is not leaving PDP, but the matter in Adamawa is beyond comprehension whereby the national chairman of the PDP decides what goes on in the party in the state without an iota of concession to the governor.”
