2019: Saraki, Dogara, Others To Form New Party by santakris(m): 2:29pm On Feb 25, 2016
Strong indications have emerged that Senate President, Bukola Saraki, Speaker House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, and some aggrieved members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have started talks aimed at launching a new political party ahead of the 2019 polls.
An insider, who was privy to a secret meeting held on the proposed new national party, said all the emerging camps within All Progressives Congress, APC, and the main opposition PDP would at the end of the day come together and form a political party latest next year to prepare well to face elections.
It was learnt that Saraki and some lawmakers, including senators and House of Representatives members, and a governor from North West, who are opposed to President Muhammadu Buhari and APC National Leader, Bola Tinubu, especially during the National Assembly election of principal officers, may not secure their second term tickets on the APC platforms due to their disloyalty.

It was further learnt that the battered image of the PDP, occasioned by the gale of corruption allegation and the emergence of Ali Modu Sherriff as national chairman of the party have combined to frustrate some members of the opposition party.
The contention is that both the APC and PDP may be difficult to sell to Nigerians come 2019, hence the need to form an ideological party.

A source said: “We have started a real Nigerian party, which will drive the dream of our nation’s founding fathers. At the moment, APC and PDP may not sell to the electorate in 2019 based on indices on ground.
“The economy is number one; we thought APC has solutions to Nigeria’s myriad of problems after PDP destroyed the system but it is clear to us that, APC has none.
“We are thinking of an ideological based party that will shape this country for the future. Political alliances are ongoing for a new brand political party. I can tell you between now and next year, 2017, we will give Nigerians their own party. The nation was helpless and even more helpless now.

“Many PDP and APC chieftains will join us, activists will join us, professionals will join us. Market women, in fact all will join us. You will be shocked of what will happen. APC may end up being a one term party at the national level.
“What happened during Speaker Aminu Tambuwal will still happen ahead of 2019 polls. APC is fighting Senate President Bukola Saraki and Speaker Yakubu Dogara for going against their wish. They will be left with no option than to join the proposed new party. We are in touch with them and persuading them on the need to forget APC.”
