The Peoples Democratic Party has
begun plot to halt the defection of its members to the All Progressives Party
so as to retain the leadership of the House.
Investigation in Abuja on Thursday
showed that the PDP was already plotting to frustrate moves by some
of the reps who might want to toe the line of their governors and defect to
APC.
Part of the way to frustrate
potential defectors, it was learnt, was to engage the
services of the police and other security agencies to “harass
and intimidate” PDP members who chose to join the APC.
A source who pleaded anonymity said
that PDP was not comfortable with the relationship of the Speaker of the House
of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, with the APC.
Tambuwal reportedly met behind
closed doors with leading members of the opposition on Wednesday at the Kano
Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja.
At the meeting were a former head of
state, Gen Muhammadu Buhari, erstwhile Lagos State governor, Ahmed Bola
Tinubu, Governors Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso [Kano], Aliyu Magartakada
Wamakko [Sokoto], Rotimi Amaechi [Rivers], Ibikunle Amosun [Ogun], former
Governor Ali Modu Sherrif of Borno State, Chief Ogbonnaya Onu, Malam Nuhu
Ribadu and the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Bello
Masari.
On Thursday, a senior lawmaker, whose
governor joined the APC, confided that part of the plot against the
defectors was to stop the members from attending sittings.
He said, “We have heard that
they are planning to stop those of us who have identified with the
APC from attending sittings of the House. They are also planning to use police
and other security agents to stop us from entering the premises.
“This means that the harassment will
include stopping us from attending sessions of the House.”
The source claimed that the idea was
to “coerce” the members to remain with the PDP.
However, it
was learnt that as the PDP
was plotting to thwart the defection of its members to the APC, the
opposition party had also intensified its efforts to gain upper
control of the House.
The party had continued to lobby PDP
members to join it even as it compiled a list of
prospective defectors.
