The embattled governor of Bauchi State, Malam Isa
Yuiguda is said to have upped his romance with the
opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) through
nocturnal meetings at a private residence in Abuja.
The secret parleys which usually hold deep in the
night from 12 midnight are aimed at perfecting their
game plan ahead of the crucial February 14
presidential contest between President Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) and APC’s General Muhammadu Buhari. One of
the meetings took place last Tuesday in Abuja.
Governor Yuguda, although a card carrying PDP
member, is said to be surreptitiously working for the
success of General Buhari. Apart from that, he is said
to be the sponsor and godfather of many opposition
candidates in Bauchi State including the
governorship candidates of the APC and the Labour
Party (LP). He tops the list of PDP said to be under
watch by the party’s leadership over alleged double
standard and poor commitment to the party.
Our source revealed that the Bauchi Executive
Governor who is also the PDP candidate for Bauchi
South Senatorial District in the February 14 election,
plans to defect to the APC if he and his cohorts
succeed in scuttling the re-election bid of President
Jonathan to the advantage of Buhari. “His defection is
considered afait accompli once the sabotaging of
PDP’s chances in presidential election is perfected
and the APC victory sealed. The only thing that will
stop his planned cross carpeting is if Buhari is loses
to Jonathan,” he stated.
He said that Yuguda has always been with the
renegade governors who defected from PDP to APC.
According to him, it was later resolved by the clique
that he should stay behind in the party as a mole
leaking crucial and tactical information from within to the APC mainly through his colleagues like Rabiu
Kwankwaso, Magatakarda Wammakko and Rotimi
Amaechi.
The source said that the governor’s role as a black leg within the PDP was known to the top brass in the ruling party over time who have been monitoring his secret anti-party conducts from a distance.
All efforts to contact the Bauchi governor or his aides for their reaction failed as they declined to answer calls.
