Muyideen Akorede, spokesman of
Abdulfatah Ahmed, governor of Kwara state, says his principal is being shown
the way out of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Akorede said this in reaction to
reports that Ahmed, Aminu Tambuwal, governor of Sokoto state, Samuel Ortom,
governor of Benue state, and Senate President Bukola Saraki met with Peoples
Democratic Party leaders on Wednesday.
Among the PDP leaders at the
meeting were Uche Secondus, chairman of the party and Nyesom Wike, governor of
Rivers.
But Akorede said the gathering
was not political, adding that Ahmed is yet to take a decision on staying or
leaving APC.
“Kwara state governor is yet to take a decision on his political
future with the APC,” the statement read.
“The presence today in Ilorin,
the Kwara State capital, of the Senate President, His Excellency, Dr. Abubakar
Bukola Saraki, PDP Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, Governor Samuel Ortom ,
Governor Aminu Tambuwal and Governor Nyesom Wike, Ex Governor Sule Lamido of
Jigawa, Senator Lawal Shuaibu, Senator Barnabas Gemade and other prominent
political figures was for the burial rites of the late mother of respected
politician, Alh Kawu Baraje and was not for the purpose of a political
realignment.
“While I have not been briefed on
any planned defection, I am aware that my principal and other political leaders
in the state are gradually being shown the way out of the APC.”
TheCable had reported that
Tambuwal, Ortom and Ahmed would soon leave the APC.
On Monday, Ortom said he was
contemplating joining another party since the ruling party gave him a “red
card”.
