Five PDP Governors Under Watch For Supportingbuhari by Anasko(m): 12:52pm On Jan 29, 2015
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP may be
keeping a close tab on five of its governors over
suspicion that they may be working underground
to boost the presidential aspiration of General
Mohammadu Buhari, of the All Progressives
Congress, APC in the February 14 presidential
contest, New Telegraph reports.
Quoting a top party official, the report indicates
that the governors are suspected to be secretly
mobilizing support for Buhari to have at least 25
per cent of the total votes cast in their respective
states in order to brighten his chances of winning
the presidential election.
The source listed the governors being watched as
Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, Delta, Mr. Sullivan
Chime, Enugu, Chief Martin Elechi, Ebonyi, Dr.
Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, Niger, Mr. James Bala
Ngilari, Adamawa and Abubakar Danladi, Taraba.
According to the source, the leadership of the PDP
had doubts about the commitment of the
governors, along with some other bigwigs of the
party who nurse grievances following the party’s
primaries, to work wholeheartedly for the victory
of President Goodluck Jonathan next month.
The report could however not confirm if more
states are involved in the deal to ease Buhari’s
victory just as the PDP National Publicity
Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, dismissed the
alleged placement of the governor under close
watch.
The source however insisted that the party had in
its possession ‘verifiable evidence’ that some of
the PDP governors, especially those whose
interests were bruised in the last primaries were
“willing to give the opposition party soft landing
in some states.
“On paper, we say there is no problem, but in the
real sense of it, there are bottled-up anger and
animosity across the various chapters of the
party in the country. As a party, we are not losing
sight of this and we are doing everything humanly
possible to stem any slide in any state chapter of
the PDP.
“It is a thing that calls for worry because we have
verifiable evidence and enough facts indeed that
some of the PDP governors you press call
aggrieved governors are already preparing ground
to allow General Buhari have a leverage that can
give him the required 25 per cent of total votes
cast in the February 14 presidential election.
“The irony is that we do know this fact but we do
not in the same breath, want to confront them
and rock the boat. The only thing we can do is to
put them under serious surveillance as we
approach the elections”, the source said.
Reacting to the report, Metuh who claimed
ignorance of such a development said no PDP
governor was hobnobbing with Buhari.
According to him, the report was fabricated by
APC to create confusion in the ruling party.
“This is a rumour and a lie fabricated by the
opposition to create confusion in our midst. All
our governors are intact and fully committed to
the ideals of the PDP. They have all been working
against the APC and its candidate and cannot
turn around to support the opposition in any
form.
