National Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, has said that three more Governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and some
ministers in President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet are in secret talks with his
party over possible defection.
Secondus also gave leeway to the
recent heavy-weight returnees who wished to contest various offices on the PDP
platform to do so, saying, “the returnees have equal rights as the existing
members.”
The party ostensibly gave room
for Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto State, former governor of Kano
State, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Senate President, Bukola Saraki to contest
for its presidential ticket ahead of the 2019 general elections.
Speaking at the 81st National
Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the PDP yesterday in Abuja, the PDP
National Chairman, said: “Three more governors and some ministers are coming to
our fold, they (APC government) are not aware. Security and economy have
collapsed, they are not aware. There are killings in different parts of the
country, they are not aware. Until we reclaim power in 2019, they won’t be
aware of anything.”
Secondus also warned against any
plot to impeach Saraki.
All other presidential aspirants
on the platform of the party were present at the NEC except former Vice
President, Atiku Abubakar.
