President Muhammadu Buhari’s aide, Bashir Ahmaad has
confirmed Goodluck Jonathan’s defection to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Bashir made the confirmation in a post via his Twitter page
on Thursday while responding to those who doubted his earlier prediction that
the former President will defect to the ruling party.
His tweet read: “When I shared the news of former President
Jonathan joining our party, his uninformed supporters insulted me saying it can
never happen even in the wildest dream.
“They should know that we know something they don’t know and
not everything is planned and executed on social media.”
Recall that the N100 million nomination and expression of
interest forms of the ruling party was reportedly bought for former President
Jonathan by a northern group on Monday.
Although Jonathan denied knowledge of the form, in the same
evening, the former President paid a visit to the National Chairman of the APC
and former Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Adamu, at his residence in Abuja.
Sources confirmed that the former President was at Adamu’s
residence to seek assurance of the APC before he could decamp from the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, to the ruling party.
Sources privy to their discussions revealed that although
the APC Chairman welcomed the former President to the ruling party, there was
absolutely no assurance that he could be handed the party’s presidential
ticket.
