Former Vice-President Atiku Abubarkar’s plot to lure the seven aggrieved governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the newly formed Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM) may have hit the rocks, as the governors appear to prefer alliance with their counterparts in the All Progressives Congress (APC). The alliance talk according to a reliable source made available to Sunday Mirror is billed to commence on Tuesday in Abuja.

It was gathered that the proposed meeting of a faction of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF) led by the Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, fixed for Tuesday is a cover for the alliance talks which the leadership of the APC had three days ago, endorsed.

According to a competent source in the APC who confided in our correspondent, the need for the governors to meet on time was informed by the reports that the newlyregistered Peoples PDM led by the former V-P was also making overtures to the G-7 governors to join forces with it ahead of the election year.

“You know that it is impossible for the governors in the new PDP to work with Atiku; he merely came into the picture at the venue of the convention, so the best thing is for them to meet with the APC governors and agree on what to do to vote out the PDP in 2015.

“The options are many but they are trying to harmonise them so that when they come out finally, no one will fault the other.” The source gave two options as outright defection to the APC or staying within the PDP to undermine it in 2015.

Nothing wey we no go hear for this polity!

CANT U GUYS GET IT.. ATIKU IS THE DOUBLE AGENT HERE ... HIS JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS TO MIDWIFE THE DEFECTION OF THE GOVERNORS TO APC .. THE WHOLE PARRAREL PARTY CRAP IS JUST A DECOY TO MAKE THE DEFECTION WHEN IT HAPPENS JUSTIFIED AND EXPECTED .. THIS IA ALL POLITICS PEOPLE..

DIVIDE AND CONQUER .. ITS THE OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK .. AND TO THINK PDP FELL FLAT FOR IT.. WELLL LETS WAIT AND SEE...FINGERS CROSSED.

The governors will go back to PDP and leave Atiku in the lurch. How on earth did Atiku think he could work well with Sule Lamido? Does he not know that Lamido is Obj's godson? What about Nyako? Does he think that political sins are forgiven?
Sometimes, I wonder how these men rose to the level they are, bearing in mind the kinda silly mistakes they make. I think, they lured him into their fold to "kill" the sympathy GEJ has for him after roundly disgracing him at the eagles square in 2011.

I wonder what they are still waiting for, they either go and join APC or accept Oga jona decision, but certainly there G-7 will crash land.
